We started the 7th birthday festivities the night before by choosing a cake and stopping by a candy emporium for a candy splurge! Buddy and Girl were overwhelmed by the choices and thrilled to be in the store. They each chose ten pieces of candy. A forever memory for them and only a few euros for us.
The next day (her actual birthday) we decided to head to the waterpark a few
cities away on the train, even though it was a Saturday and we knew it
would be busy. When we arrived at the gate we were concerned.
