Yesterday was a Czech holiday, Labor Day. So that meant no school for me and the littles. But since we love each other so much we weren't apart! My cooperating teacher and I actually spent our day off with most of our littles because one of them had a birthday party, and we were invited! So we went and it was so much fun:)
The little's birthday party was at a park that is in the southern part of Prague. And since it was a holiday getting there took a lot longer than we planned because public transportation was much slower. But we finally got there and had a blast.
I love being eight years old again:) even if it's just for a day!
The playground...well let's just say it would never exist in America. And if it did parents would need to sign waivers to let their child near it and then the children would have to wear a safety harness. No lie. Look at this thing!! The picture doesn't do it justice but those red ropes connect to the cat walks up high. And there is nothing really stopping the children from falling over 30 feet down to the ground expect strong arms and common sense. But it was so so fun!
Yes, I climbed it. Yes, my kids loved every minute of it. Yes, I want one!
My cooperating teacher and I were able to continue acting like eight year old children after we left the birthday party because...we went to the Praha Zoo!! The zoo is nothing like you find in America and that's what made it so special and fun!
At times we close enough to actually touch most of the animals. There was usually a knee high fence and a ditch between me and the animals, and sometimes there was a little river of water - tell me how that stops monkeys from attacking me?! But the entire park is a must see!
Only one more day left with my little monkeys.
It's hard to believe it's been almost 2 months!
