Monkey Business in the Gorilla World

Life is not only everyday tasks and a lot of home work. We've done some fun things while Benke's been gone:












Jonte joined the Boys Scouts (Cub Scouts are the youngest ones who always attend the meetings with a parent). They've just learned the Cub Scout salute and their motto, "Do Your Best". The kids play a lot, so Jonte is like a fish in the water!





Johanna's soccer team is doing the best season ever, and they're leading their series. Coach Sippola is, by the way, the only Finn I've met here so far. Not a word of Finnish, though.






We've been to the Discovery Garden to see what an Ohioan vegetable and flower garden looks like in the fall. The pumpkin season is here, this is what they sell outside of our gorcery store. Well, not him.





There are fund raising happenings through schools all the time, somewhat desperate kids trying to sell magazines, cookies, candy, coupon books, walking door to door. The Fall Festival was held in Johanna's school, a great fun for both kids and adults - we rode the school bus to the festival (first time ever for me too!).








Florian, Diana and Elisa of Bajer Munchen! Our one and only Fabulous Foreignors Club of Huntington Circle (read: we and our neighbors from Germany and Brazil) went to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens. We've also enjoyed some of the famous German liquid food as there is an Oktober Fest in almost every village in this very German area.






Still 25-35 Celsius here. Have a great fall, everyone!

//Hanna
