Boat Trip and Detsky Ostrov

The end of the school year means lots of activities.  The girls had their activity week last week which is a week where the kids take a break from school work and have fun.  They have water day and dress up days, a BBQ and school trips.  Thursday was the big day trip for the early years and lower school.  I'm glad they were together becasue it meant

I didn't have to make two separate trips but could be with both girls on the same day.  This year the school brought the kids on a boat ride on the Vltava.  The kids got to have a snack on board the boat which consisted of cakes and cookies since I don't think any child ate the Chlebicky (little sandwiches) that were also on the tables.  Unfortunately Ali's class was inside the boat while Sofia's class was upstairs and then they switched half way through the boat ride so I didn't get to spend time with Sofia during the boat ride.  Fortunately the boat ride was only for an hour.  Here is a picture of Ali with her friend, Cianna, enjoying the sun while on the top deck. 

After the boat ride we all climbed back on the buses and went to Detsky Ostrov (translated means children's island).  This is the same place we went last year for the school trip which is an island in the Vltava that has an enormous playground hence the name, "Children's Island".  The kids had a blast at the playground and I was running around back and forth to be with both of them and to snap some pictures.  There were a couple times they were actually playing with the same thing.  Here they are with their friends, Michelle and Anna.  We were fortunate to have really beautiful weather the entire day.  The kids did not want to leave the park at the end of the day but we had to make our way back to school.  Ali had such a good time that she was exhausted and fell asleep on the bus ride back to school.  It was another successful school trip!
