So while Grandma, Poppy and I were at the Belvedere, Duke was visiting the Pyramids and lying in mummy holes. Pretty awesome.
By Sunday we were all together again and headed to the Weiner Wiesn, aka Vienna’s Oktoberfest. When you go it feels like an old tradition, but really it’s only the fourth year they’ve held it. Like 90% of attendees, we wore our lederhosen and dirndls, and like 20%, we are foreigners. 
We only went to the free part during the day, because loud and smoky tents aren’t suitable for babies or grandparents. We did collect stamps at various booths and got something at almost every one: lederhosen onesie, pine tree schnapps, grape juice, beer, coconut treat, weisswurst, pretzels and mustard, the only thing we skipped was professional hair braiding. We enjoyed the music and kids area too.
The next day we went to the Haus Des Meeres aquarium and had a great time. Leo really seemed to enjoy it and Allison loved sharing one of her favorite places with Poppy. On the way home I tripped getting off the bus and landed in a big heap with both kids. It was scary and stupid, but it was just around the corner from the pediatrician and she was able to see us right away and rule out anything major. After that the rest of the week was pretty quiet and we were really careful.
Zacherlfabrik
Poppy, Grandma, Leo and I spent one day exploring parks. We started at the Setagaya Japanese garden and stumbled across the zacherlfabrik while taking a quick walk through the 19th before hoping on the bus 10A to Turkenschanz park. We were enchanted by the big, beautiful Turkenschanz park and really enjoyed lunch at Mayerei. It was all new to me and exciting to discover a new part of town.

We had our friend Misha over for Dinner and Leo had a good check up at the doctor, he’s getting so big, and apparently it’s not just me that thinks so because the doctor weighed him in at 6.11 kilos and in the 90%.

On Saturday we went to AKH and played at the park and got all you can eat ribs and chicken wings at Gangl. They didn’t make Allison pay and that was probably a mistake because she ate more than grandma!
I’ve been having a lot of fun handing the baby over and just playing with Allison. It’s been a year since I could really run, jump, climb and tumble and it feels great to just play. The baby is also having a lot of fun, he smiles all the time. Allison is having the most fun though, she really loves her grandparents so much.
