Fun Day with Friends

So this happened a few days ago, April 30th to be exact. We spent the day with the Meister Family from our ward at Phantasialand. It is an amusement park in Germany about 45 min away from our house. The Meisters moved to the Netherlands from Canada(Ontario) about a month before we did. They have 5 children and 3 of them are the same ages as Alex, Shania and Amina. So we get along really well. We met the Meisters at the front gate to GK(Geilenkirchen) and we were on our way. The day started off a bit cool but it ended up being a very pleasant day. The reason why we were able to go on a Monday in the middle of the school year, was that it is a holiday here in the Netherlands which is Queens Day. I am not sure exactly of the history of it all but it was a day of school and work so we took advantage of it.
Phantasialand is like I said an amusement park. The areas of the park are separated into different regions of the world. There was an area from China, Mexico, US. We had a lot of fun. The nice thing about going there is that you can bring your own food so as to cut down on the cost somewhat. The promotion that the park had for the month of April was free tickets to go again in the season up until the beginning of November. So we will take advantage of that. So when people come to visit us and want to go someplace fun with amusement park rides now we know of a good place to go.
