At last some pics from the recent Heffernan-Mulrooney family visit with us. Richie, Dee, Séimí and baby Peter were here with us for with us for six days and we had a lovely time with them, doing the usual walking around, eating (above is the family at our favourite pizza restaurant), talking, and seeing the sights. They were particularly struck by our area, Prenzlauer Berg, which Eric calls 'Kinderland'. This small area has the highest birth rate in the whole of Europe! Basically everyone here is either pregnant or had a baby, and the whole area is totally set up for parents and children alike - lots of parks and baby-friendly restaurants. Perfect for the Hefferooneys.
They seemed to have also brought the good weather with them because the sun shone for the whole time they were here. If truth be told it was a little too hot sometimes. I took the photo above on the hottest day. This is in the kitchen and notice how the candles are all melted. The temperature gauge behind says 32 degrees, in the shade!
Still it didn't stop us from getting out and about, though we tended to stay close to the apartment during the hottest part of the day. Luckily we have a great park just around the corner from us, which has a pirate ship that Séimí loved.
In the evenings we went further afield. On the Thursday we made a trip to
Museumsinsel, or Museum Island, where as the name suggests some of the main museums are located as after six every Thursday all the museums on the island are free. We got to bring them to the
Bodemuseum and we looked after Séimí while they went to the
Neuesmuseum. In front of the Neusmuseum is an open area where there is a fountain and what was lovely that evening was that it was full of kids taking a dip. So by the time that Richie and Dee got back Séimí had gone native and jumped in too. He had a complete ball!
We also had a great time with Baby Peter who is now seven months old. His personality is really starting to come out now. He loves a good laugh (see for yourselves from the clip below) and can't seem to stop smiling. He won a number of Berliners over by just beaming at them (it's honestly melt-your-heart quality). It seems though that not only did Berlin love the Hefferooneys but the Hefferooneys loved Berlin, as when they were leaving they were are already planning their return trip next summer. Who knows, we might even still be here!
