We headed back to the Abenteuerspielplatz in Prenzlauer Berg for our final visit before school starts. This time Benjamin's best buddy, Clayton, and his little brother, Gavin, also joined us. Benjamin was thrilled to have some friends joining and was equally as excited for the cooler temps because that meant they would likely open the shed for building materials. Josie is excited because her friend, Ella, and a couple of other girls she had met previously there are also at the park.
We met up at the Sbahn and rode into the city together. Once there they were off and running and barely said goodbye. I headed to the nearby park and read my book in peace for a few hours. I finished Handmaid's Tale and am now reading The Power.... talk about whiplash of the mind. Both books are good and mostly I'm just happy that I'm finding time and energy to read again.
Our friend, Hollis, brought her three boys to the
Abenteuerspielplatz and she and I shared food and a beer at the Indian restaurant next door. Sadly, Hollis and her family are moving back to the States on Thursday so this will be our final Berlin
outing before they take off.
Again, the entire 5+ hours I don't hear a word from the kids. When I go to pick them up at 5:30 they seem to be having a ball and don't want to leave. We eventually make our way out and onto the train to head home. Abenteuerspielplatz success for a third time.
