Brunch morning with Nina and Centa and Edward and everyone else. We had pastries and eggs and coffee and all tried to draw a bicycle from memory, just for fun, even Rainer, who was with us for a bit over video, and had to draw with his left hand because his right wrist is still in a cast.
The Foersters picked up Felix to take him to Rettenbachklamm and Henry, Theodore and I took our bikes and pedaled as fast as we could and made it to the trailhead at about the same time. Brian ran after us, and met us at a short stopping point. We had so much fun walking through the gorge, the kids way ahead of us. Henry was completely beat, so he went home in the car with Felix. So Brian, Theodore and I had a quiet walk back through the gorge on our own. While they discussed hedgefunds and game-stop, I got a bit ahead, and was only a bit annoyed when a young couple asked me in a very polite way if i "needed any help" with a stream crossing. no, i do not need help, so out of principle and pride i nearly ran all the way back, leaving that young unsteady couple way behind.
At family meeting it was discovered that there were rewards to hand out - Henry and Felix had done all their chores all week and had checked them off, so we started watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tonight, which was Henry's wish. Felix's reward wish is to have "baguettes with stinky cheese" so we'll get him some tomorrow.
While the kids read themselves to sleep, Brian and I played a game of chess. Henry wanted to stay up and wait to find out who won, but we played way too slowly to let him know that in the end Brian completely slaughtered me.
