Winter Wonderland

On Sunday we decided to soak up some Christmas atmosphere at Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Even though it was freezing cold the sky was blue and the sun was shining so it was great being outside. The boys found the partly frozen Serpentine fascinating. Daniel had a ball teasing the water fowl that were walking on the ice and Nicholas enjoyed breaking off slices of ice for skimming and shattering on the smooth hard surface of the lake. Then we had fun at the actual market going on some of the rides, trying to spot Father Christmas and feasting of typical German fair. Not quite the same as the Aachen Christmas market but nice enough for a day out with the kids!
