Today was our last day in Germany *sigh* so we took in a local family amusement site, Freizeitpark Lochmühle. This place is part amusement park, part petting zoo, part picnic destination. The kids (and us) had a fantastic time.
The deer were a big hit:
And so were these oversized swings you set in motion by pulling on a rope:
But nothing compared to the giant carpet slide. You can't tell from the photos, but it was a loooong way down:
I especially loved the teeny ferris wheel that was powered by ... an amusement-park worker pedalling. Yep, get a job and tone your legs. Not bad for summer work...
(addendum: Phil just told me that's not a worker, it's a father. I guess if you want your kid to enjoy a ride, you've got to work for it!)
We leave tomorrow morning for the 4-hour drive to Brussels... although given our track record with driving in Europe, it will likely take 50% longer. We'll be in touch once we get settled there!
Looks like the biggest kid there was Phil...biggest smile on his face for sure! We sure miss you. Have a safe trip to Brussels and let us know when you arrive. We are off to Hawaii on Sat, but I hurt myself (twisted my knee) so I have to she an orthopedic dr tomorrow and hope it is nothing serious...but it has put a major damper on any adventurous plans for me!!!
ReplyDeleteYou all are a walking advertisement for Canada. I think I've seen a Canada t-shirt in every post :) That park looks like tons of fun - wish we had such stuff here! If you ever get the chance, visit Angels Park in Costa Mesa (at Tewinkle Park) it has some really fun equipment because it was made to be ADA accessible. Fun stuff! Miss you all...
