Chasing Waterfalls

Even though this town really sucks when it comes to day care for children (yet another public kindergarden told me today that there's pretty much no way that Karl will get in next year), there's a couple of nice summer events organised by the city of Munich. One of them is the Water Playbus.



It is an old fire trucks that visits playgrounds all around the greater Munich area (please note that Karl wears his fire truck t-shirt whenever he's dealing with fire trucks). Different kinds of water games are being set up and even though a lot of valuable drinking water goes down the drains I must say it is a lot of fun. Karl didn't want to go in the long line for the gigantic water slide made out of plastic film going down a hill (maybe next year), but was totally into the little river running through pieces of water pipe. The kids could build their own boats and send them down through the pipes. In the beginning it did confuse Karl that his feet would get wet when playing with water though.



In the end all the hard work was rewarded with a delicious yoghurt blueberry ice cream from the new ice cream parlor around the corner.
