Since the kids and especially Mattis had almost no kontact to the rest of the family, they all had to get used to each other. Stubborn Mattis first was not very friendly but then realised that it is really great to have grand-parents around.

Michaels grand-parents were very happy to have them back. And the great-grand-children didn't let go (don`t miss Charlottes shoes).

And best of all: there are gak-gaks near the grand-parents house. Mattis loved to look at them.

Moritz hugged his grampies but found out that none of them is really keen on running around on a soccer field. None of the younger ones ... my grand-father (age 85!) kicked a good match with Moritz, impressing him with tricks from a life-long passion for soccer.

Great-grand-Ma knew another great trick how to get close to little Mattis who was still overwhelmed by all the new faces.

And here they are walking along the river.
