Fun at Luisenpark

Yesterday some of my friends from MOPS had a play date at Luisenpark in Mannheim. It's this really big beautiful park not too far from where most of us live. There were about 9 moms and probably 14 kids or so. Most kids are a little older than Caden so I invited my friend Courtney and her son William to come along. Caden and William are about one month apart in age so they play a lot together.

The first animal we saw when we arrived was a friendly duck.  I think he was hungry.

They even had penguins.

And a beautiful peacock that roamed free.

Caden wanted to play with him.

There were a lot of birds. Caden really enjoyed watching and talking to this one. He started crying when it was time to move on.

I wish I would have known about this park sooner. There is so much to do there: play grounds, even one that is built like a castle (we do live in Germany), lots of grass to run and play on, lots of beautiful gardens including a Chinese Garden and restaurant, bumper cars, boat rides, bounce houses, a petting zoo and more. We spent about 5 hours there and still didn't see everything. Once Caden is walking on his own I plan on going back. I think Collin would really like it too. Here are a few more pictures from our fun outing.
