Schweizerhaus
The Schweizerhaus is an institution in the Prater, which I'll explain the next post. It has been around for almost an hundred years, and even when the rest of the area is completely devoid of people, the Schweizerhaus will be full. It has gigantic umbrellas for the rain, lovely shade trees for the sun, a playground (spielplatz) for the kids, and marvelous food for the rest of us. People come from all walks of life (a 20 year reunion was taking place next to us, and six guys in biking outfits all pulled up as I was leaving) and eat well and stay for several hours to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere.
Today, however, Joss wasn't having any of it. Rob spent the first forty-five minutes trying to feed him to calm him down, and I spent the last forty-five walking him around in the stroller to help him go to and stay asleep. It made our patriotic celebration hectic and I couldn't enjoy my crunchy pig with ambrosial mustard. We are so ready to move on from the crazy-baby-must-have-nap phase of life!

I've never noticed the model stelze before - I'll have to look for it next time.
