Sitting by the river

I picked Sofia up from school the other day and was going to let her play in the school yard since the weather was nice but another mom asked if we wanted to join them by the river. I thought this sounded like a great idea so we headed over to the river with them. We stopped at the local potraviny (mini market) and picked up some food for the girls and headed to the bench by the river. It was so peaceful. We through some bread for the ducks but mostly the girls sat on the bench and ate their snacks and Susanna (the other mom) and I got to chat. It was nice to get to talk to her. Unfortunately we won't have many more trips to the river since she will be moving at the end of the school year to Stockholm. This is a downside to being an ex-pat - friends are always leaving for their next assignment.
