Griffin Loses His First Tooth and We Visit Two More Places

Griffin lost his first tooth yesterday! We asked our German neighbors if the Tooth Fairy worked the same way here, and they said yes, you put your tooth under your pillow and the Tooth Fairy takes it. Well, the Tooth Fairy found us here and Griffin got 1 Euro for his tooth!



We have visited two more amusement parks over the past two weekends. Two weeks ago we went to Movie Park, which was a very American park, very similar to a Cedar Point or Universal Studios Florida. The characters were mostly from Nickelodeon and Dream Works. They had some really good rides for all of us. It was funny though, because even though the characters were familiar, they all spoke German. So there was a Small World-like ride for Ice Age, but they told their story in German as you rode through. http://www.movieparkgermany.de/




This past weekend we went to Toverland in the Netherlands (our first trip out of Germany, lass than 1 hour away). This was a park that was half like Ketteler Hof (see previous posts) and half traditional amusement park. It was half inside and half outside. It had two great roller coasters that Ethan loved and Griffin liked the flying swings. Then it also had lots of climbing, swinging, sliding features. This was another place we loved! http://www.toverland.nl/


Ethan forgot the pole he needed to move his raft, but luckily the boy behind him was kind and brought him one.



And one last picture - a beautiful sunset sky we had last week, seen from our back windows.


That's the moon to the left (obviously) and barely visible near the right side is a plane taking off - we're very close to the airport.
