I let Aidan skip school yesterday to meet our friends Kelly, Benjie and Cassie and their kids at Rhine Falls (Europe's answer to Niagra Falls). Cassie lives in Germany and Kelly and Benjie were visiting her. They didn't quite make it to Rhine Falls, though, since they didn't bring their passports and the Swiss thought they looked suspicious, I guess!
So, the kids and I went to the Falls anyway. They are MUCH smaller than Niagra, but still beautiful. We took a boat ride into the falls and went to the look out point. "Doing" the falls took all of 45 minutes.
Then we went and met the rest of the group in Germany, because luckily I did toss our passports in my purse before we left home. We went to a castle (I don't remember the name), but we didn't actually go in it. The walk up a super-steep mountain to the castle just about did me in and the others were already done with the castle, so we just let the 7 kids run around and play in the forest area.
Aidan is so into hiking and nature right now. I didn't feel too bad about him playing hookie since every Tuesday they do "WaldKinder" at school where they have classes in the forest. So he just had an extra WaldKinder class with his friends.
(Thanks for coming to visit, Kelly and Benjie! Keep the visitors coming-hint, hint!!!!)
