The Next Day

Since kids typically spend the entire Children's Holiday wrapped up in hot costumes sitting around waiting for their 5 minute performance, the government decided to give the following day off, too.  That is the day to rest and recoup from another fabulous (albeit grueling) Children's Day Celebration!

The weather forecast called for perfect weather and I was itching to complete my unfinished list from winter break (day 1, day 2, day 3, day 4).  We had such big plans, but then the snow came.  Don't get me wrong!  We had so much fun playing in the snow.  But the unfinished list was haunting me.

So, the day after Children's Day we got up bright and early and headed out for a new adventure.  On the docket today was going to the top of one of Europe's tallest buildings, then lunch out, followed by a trip to our favorite park on the other side.  Too bad Justin had to work!!

Yeah... this city is kinda big!

It's a LONG way down!!!

My beautiful girls

We live way out over that way.

You can hardly tell, but we were able to see the entire Strait- from sea to sea.

She is too cute for words!

After we thoroughly examined the city we headed back down to the food court.  Praise the Lord (and I mean that!) there was a Papa John's pizza!  So, of course we noshed out on that yumminess!

The owner was so happy to see some cute little American kids
that he took them in the back and gave them a tour.

He emphasized the importance of fresh ingredients.
Now every time I try to give Noah some cut carrots he asks if
I soaked them in water to keep them fresh!

The day was going great until I got a bit lost trying to get to the park.  It didn't get much better once we arrived at the park and realized that every kid from that side of the city had also come to the park!

Looks fun, no?

See, I wasn't exaggerating!

Despite the park disappointment, it was a great day.  Really, Papa John's pizza covers a multitude of disappointments!  And the Sky Terrace was super cool!  Another fun adventure goes down in family history!
