Worthy is generally a Florida-boy. He's acclimated to the heat there. So we were a bit unsure of how he would respond to the snow, cold and slush that we've come to. He's done great - as have William & Calvin too. Our goal for the first couple weeks, apart from adjusting to the time difference and finding a place to live was to help the boys fall in love with their new home. Here are some things we've done the last few days.
On Monday evening, we went over to a Christmas Market at Karlsplatz. There are Christkindlmarkts all over the city. They all vary a little bit in terms of what the sell or offer. The one we went to had many fun activities aimed at kids.
We all enjoyed some nice warm drinks
There was a cute train ride that both Worthy & William got to enjoy
They also got to take pony rides around the square.
Before William went to bed that night he said, "I rode a pony". It was wonderful to hear!
Another highlight: Cheerios. Go figure. Some things are unpredictable.
Dan & Brad took Worthy & William sled riding today. There is a small hill right around the corner in a nearby park. They had a great time.
It's so good to see that you are there and safe and recovering from the arduous journey. Traveling with kids should be illegal, but you're right, God provides just the right amount of strength and patience along the way. Our hearts are with you as we look at your pictures and see a glimpse of some of our same experiences this summer. It's a joy praying for your journey and waiting to see what God has in store for Vienna.
