Paddle boats with Owen

Grandma has been wanting to go out on the river in a paddleboat, and taking Owen for a day provided the perfect opportunity!!

Why do boys love to push buttons??? See that tempting green button there?


Just HAD to do it- luckily it's just a "door open" button!!

Prague views from the water...

A long stretch to the pedals...

Ducks to be fed..

After we returned the paddleboat, we jumped aboard a small boat that operates as a ferry to certain points along the river - all part of the public transport system. No extra tickets required. Our destination - Detsky Ostrov (Children's island).

The pirate ship ... (who's on the slide?)

The giant misting umbrella - very refreshing on a hot, hot day. Forgot swim clothes or a change of clothing for the kids? No problem - nakedness is normal here.

Then back to Owen's house to sing Happy Birthday to Chris, and to sample some yummy chocolate cake!
