What a very Happy Mother's Day, indeed! Although sleeping in was not on the agenda, it was a very good day. Dustan made me sausage and eggs for breakfast, and then we got cleaned up and went down to Schwetzingen and went to the Schlosspark.It was a beautifu
l day and there were quite a few people out and about. We headed over to see the mosque, as Dustan hadn't been to that side of the park before. The kids loved running thru the gardens there, and behind it we found that it overlooked another lake, and the faux ruins of a place was across t
he way, so we followed the trail around the lake. We saw goslings and all kinds of ducks, had some cookies and juice for a snack, and saw huge carp in the lake. We got a couple of photos and then headed toward the Roman temple, as that is our favorite part. It has some "caves" in it and it has a couple of terraces up top, with a statue in the middle of the pavillion over-looking the gardens to the front, and with stairs on either side headed down the hill straight on, and to both sides into maze paths. Within one minute of being there, both the kids took off, so I went after Ariel and Dustan went to find Nathaniel.

after about 15 minutes. She was on the outside of the wall from the menagerie, talking to the American family that had come into the ticketbooth behind us an hour before. So, then we spent the next hour looking for the boys. By this time, we both were getting tired and hungry, and I was getting worried that something happened to Nathaniel, as there were so many paths and people and open water. So, I finally decided to head up to the security at the lock, so after a rest on a bench, Ariel followed me and we found the boys just past the deer fountain. It was so nice to see them, after I was starting to think of the terrible possibilties. Dustan had Nathaniel o
n his shoulders and Nat was asleep up there. It was so adorable.

We then enjoyed being together as a family, and we made a few phone calls to the mothers in our lives. All was right in the world yesterday, in our little world anyway, and it was a fantastic day.
