The Zoo on Good Friday

Benjamin and I were really itching to get out of the house.  The weather was perfect the first week of break - mid 70's and sunny.  But with Josie home sick we couldn't do much. 
Benjamin and I decided to leave Marty home to nurse Josie and he and I along with his buddy Zeke took off for a sunny day at the zoo.
In Germany, and maybe all over Europe, Easter is celebrated for the entire weekend.  Good Friday is a national holiday and all stores are closed.  Likewise Easter Sunday AND Easter Monday are all

national holidays. 
For this Good Friday it was a gloriously sunny Berlin day.  The entire of the city must have had the same idea to go to the zoo because I

have never in all my times going seen SO many people.  It was crazy.  But the boys had a ball.  They spent a bit of time at the petting zoo but then spent nearly 3 hours at the epic playground.  I sat on a sunny bench and read my book. 

Josie was back home napping in a very quiet house.  It was what the Dr. ordered for ALL of us.
