We wanted to take advantage of the nice weather since, in Germany, you never really know if it will come again before May. Or June. Anyway, we decided to take the kids to an animal park in a nearby forest. However, when we got there it was closed for mating season. Apparantly, in order for baby pigs and deer to be born in the spring, the animals need the kids to keep away and get in the mood. How do you explain that to a two and four-year old?
Me: Ummmmm..... the animals had such a long summer with all the kids visiting them that they need a couple of weeks off to rest. Kind of like vacation.
Jay: Where are they going to?
Me: Nowhere. Like in Herbstferien when we stayed here.
Jay: Oh. They can go to the Schweiz (Switzerland) like we did too.
Me: How about we go for a walk in the woods instead? You can jump in the mud puddles.
Jay: That's our surprise today? But I've already done that before.
Anyway, they really liked jumping in the mud puddles. And just walking without being hurried along because we had to get somewhere on time. Maybe we can even do it again- even though now Jay has done that twice. ;)
