Hohenpark Killesberg is the best ever!!

We still have lots of sunshine here and it is AMAZINGLY good for my soul!! :) We have been told we are now officially out winter but now we are to expect LOTS of rain. The rain part doesn't make me too happy but for now we are enjoying the sunshine as much as we can. The temps. have been in the 60's and only slightly cool at night. WONDERFUL!

The other day we took the afternoon off and headed to Hohenpark Killesberg. I had heard from several moms that this was THE place to be in weather like this so we headed on over. It had waterfalls, a petting zoo, tons of playground area, hiking trails, a train, puppet theater, restaurant, ice cream bar, and the list goes on and on and on.

Neeley really enjoyed chasing the ducks around for a little while.



And then we found the goats. Neeley was trying to feed this one a flower...



And this little cutie had to be THE LOUDEST animal I have ever heard. I secretly wanted to take it home with us. So cute!!



And please, I beg you to explain to me what this thing is. I called it a dogbearllama. ??



Then we made our way over to the playground area for some more fun...













The have a neat tower there in the park and on holidays they put lights on it and have light shows. The bushes were in the way but we'll get better pics of it soon when we return.



This is the truck used in the puppet theater...



They also had some really interesting architectural pieces there. We looked to find some sort of explanation as to what in the world this was but found nothing.



We ended the afternoon with a visit to the "milchbar" or ice cream bar for a treat....

Neeley trying to feed Daddy her cola pop while sitting under what we found out was a beehive. Yikes!!



I tried to get more fun pics in this one and not as many of the pretty flowers that were blooming because we have scheduled a session of family pictures to be taken in this very park on Sunday by one of our photographer friends here and I couldn't be more excited. We haven't had true family pics taken since Neeley was 4 months old. Shameful I know! Bad mama!! But we are so going to make up for it on Sunday. Can't wait to show you all the final product!!

Enjoy!!
