ECP - Ecologically Correct Pool

This morning Leonard and Horst have been to the public pool nearby, the Stadium Pool. Very nice place, as long as you go there early enough in the morning on such a beautiful and hot day as it is today (29 C., 85 F.).

The cool thing: the whole outdoor pool has been renovated one year ago and during this process the neighborhood and especially all the kids of the quarter have been involved in a "participation process" to take part in the detailed technical decisions: What sort of slides? The "killer slide" or the "Black hole", a pool with biologically regenerated water or with chlorine cleansing?
It turned out to be a biologically cleaned pool. And it is very beautiful.

Here you can see some pics of the pool as it looks todayhe and here is a link to the group of the "Participation Process".

Laurens loves Gisela


As we decided to call all dolls by the name of their sponsors, the little mouse doll Lauren's got from Horst's sister has the name 'Gisela'.
Laurens loves her, she has to with him when he wants to fall asleep with his pacifier in his mouth.

"Elephant Mouse"


Here is Leonard's favorite at this time: the elephant from the children's tv program "The Mouse". Check it out at his link, it's quite funny.
He got a real blue elephant to play with and he loves to trumpet like an elephant while he holds his nose with his right hand and lifts his left arm like a trunk at the same time.
