The Cottage Tales - Hamburg

I really wanted to see Hamburg before we left Germany. I am a big fan of water and so cities on the water appeal to me a lot. People were FREAKED right out that I let Ollie climb on this fence. There was no way he could climb over it, go through the bars, or go under the bars. Reality check: he's got a ginormous head, y'all.


The highlight in Hamburg was this awesome miniatures museum. The exhibits were SO detailed and well planned out. The lights would steadily mimic the light of a normal day so you got to see each exhibit from dawm to dawn. Oliver and Abby were memorized, especially at the airplane exhibit. They had planes that would actually take off and land. They had a HUGE train exhibit that was two stories high. Ollie would run along the tracks watching it enter tunnels and climb the mountains. Each exhibit was based on a country and this year they featured a few American cities as well. 










If you click on this picture, you will see they even had hikers and campers hidden amongst the red rocks. Seriously impressive details!


Ollie will often refuse to be let down and will pull his legs up and cry when you try to make him walk. He loves to be carried, even like this! He looks so much like his dad!


He also loves to chew on his car DVD player cord. It's pretty dangerous trying to rip the cord out of his mouth while driving. But I guess it's a little less scary than being electrocuted!
