Earlier in our trip we visited with a Frankfurt CISV delegation that had attended Charlotte’s CISV camp in Pittsburgh in July 2008. The family of Lea, one of the members of that delegation, had invited us to stay at their home if it fit with our schedule on our way back to Frankfurt for our return trip home.
With such a kind offer, we made this fit with our plans so the day before we were due to depart Frankfurt we met up with the Kerwer family in the city of Seeheim-Jugenheim, located less than 50 kilometres south of Frankfurt.
The Kerwer home was located on the edge of a large green space that we explored on a brilliantly sunny but cool day
It didn’t take long for the snowball fight to break out.
The Kerwer children’s school was located in part of this common green space area.
It had some pristine snow that was calling out, “snow angel, snow angel…”
I’ve remarked earlier in this blog about how impossible it is for kids of a certain age to pass by a playground without experiencing it. This day provided another data point in my ongoing research. We took advantage of the opportunity by having the kids pose for this picture.
A little further on from the school was a pond that was frozen quite solid. A circular track had been cleared for skaters.
