What's This?????

On our foray through the fields of Pierre a bot, we saw a bunch of these:

I thought it might have to do with feeding cows their hay in the winter. Allie thought it was a toy.... There's the prize of a bunch of chocolate for the person who enlightens us :)


Also, most of you probably know what this is:

My mum and I used these public loos at Pierre a bot... they're still going strong in Suisse! The splash marks around it are from the strong flushing water.....

We're off on a wee jaunt to Rome tomorow. I love saying that! Any suggestions of what to see when we're there? Remember there will be 2 active, sleep deprived wee boys with us. We'll be staying right in the old part, near the Tiber :) Very exciting!

When we visited Rome we didn't really do kid-friendly things. I don't think they want to wait for hours to see the Sistine Chapel. But the Colleseum might be appropriate, lots of running around room, and there's tons of cats living there. They hang out in the areas people can't walk and drape themselves over the stone just out of reach. Cheeky cats!

Emma: The chain thingy is a Disc Golf "hole". Disc golf is played somewhat like golf but instead of using a ball, one uses discs that look somewhat like a frisbee. I know something (not much) about Disc Golf because one of my seniors last year chose this topic for his Senior Project. He made a lovely video demonstrating how to play.

(Rachel says to let you know there's a whole gang of us at the Grandparents tonight. It takes a lot of chocolate to fill us up. Tee hee.) And I'm the only one who has heard of Disc Golf.

Oh hey, Carolyn's right! We called it "Ultimate Frisbee" at U.C. Santa Cruz. Those contraptions were all over the fields.

I'm glad I read your comment, Carolyn. They looked familiar and it was driving me nuts.

Maybe your student will end up at UCSC, tee hee.

Glad to see the pictures. A big hug to Allie and Toby!
