Our backyard

I wanted to show you all the little bit of grounds that we get to call our backyard. I just recorded what it looks like on the way to "the grass" as Emma calls it.
First the vine-covered wall just outside our apartment


The way Stella gets around.
hmmmm yummy lens cap

Ta Da! The grass!
Ok, most of that is a road.


Emma's favorite personal fountain

A nice courtyard outside of the fancy faculty lounge... I think.
I don't think we'll be sitting there.
 If ever there was a place for some girls to run, this would be it!

"Um, since I'm the only one running, does that mean I win?"
 I think I'd like to get the girls trained early in soccer. Especially for Stella. She doesn't even walk straight yet, which means she'll be great at zig-zagging through other players.

"I've got a perfect shot! ...But where's the ball again"
 Then I was very, very thrilled to discover that the rock path kept their attention for a very long time. At the end, I just put them all back in their section. I guess worst that will happen is that one of them may get a rock to the head. We're working on the 'no throwing' part.

No sampling please!

And then run!
 Stella did this every time she picked up a rock. Then she usually brought it to me.
The champion!
 These girls don't have to try too hard to be cute.
"Can I have your money... pleeeease?"

What a team
 A little Stella charm

 A little conducting to the rocks....they just wouldn't stop shouting!


 Amazing!

"Can you believe it?! I found another one!"
Like I said....we had a lot of rock time

Say cheese! Stella, cheese!
 Then on the way back we spotting a very life-like Roman statue.

A rare Roman statue
Those are some of the grounds that we can call home!

Peace!
