Easter markets

On Saturday, after going to he park and having a rest at home, we all headed into the Easter Markets in old Town Square. It is fun to walk around all the stalls and see all the Easter decorations. The girls enjoyed ice cream and Jason and I had some Trdlo, a soft yeast dough which is wrapped around a hot metal pin and cooked over a flame, then rolled in ground almonds and sugar. After having our snacks we headed up on the raised platform to watch the performance on stage. Their was a high school band playing and the girls really enjoyed watching. I was surprised at how long they wanted to stay and watch. After a while we were ready to go and figure out dinner but on the way we crossed the area where they have horse and carriage rides. We have always said we wanted to take the kids on one and the girls really wanted to go so we decided it was a beautiful day to do it. We took a 20 minute horse and carriage ride which the girls loved. They waved to people as we passed just like princesses. Most people waved back with smiles which made the girls happy. At the end we stopped in a restaurant for a quick snack and then headed home.
