This past week and weekend we celebrated Ascension Day (aka Men’s Day) and Mother’s Day! In Germany, they don’t celebrate Father’s Day, but rather Men’s Day. It is a day for men of all ages to be feted and enjoy a day celebrating and partying with buddies. I told Adrian not to get any ideas about bringing this holiday back with us!
Mother’s Day is celebrated in a similar fashion as in North America. Adrian, Sabrina and Cooper gave me a great day! It started with Sabrina and I spending the morning at Auensee Park. It’s a beautiful park with a lake, playground, biking trails and a children’s train that takes you for a ride around the lake. Sabrina was thrilled to ride the train. She choo-chooed the entire way around the lake! In the afternoon, after some serious napping, we went to have a beer and ice cream at a patio along the river. Sabrina decided to ride her balance bike, making a 15 min walk into a 45 min walk:) The patio has a great sandpit full of toys for kids, and it’s dog friendly! German restaurants and bars often have play areas for kids; definitely makes eating out more enjoyable for parents! It was a great day.
