Gracie's paradise

Konstanz, Germany (Mainau Island)
It has to be some sort of record. We are on day three of sunshine here in the Deutschland and lovin' every minute of it! We took advantage and drove to Lake Konstanz, Germany.
Mainau Island (in Konstanz, Germany) is surrounded by Lake Konstanz. The lake is surrounded by Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. To be totally honest, I'm not sure what countries we were in that day. I know we started off and ended up in Germany:)
The Island was incredible. It has a butterfly house (Gracie's favorite aka schmetterlingshaus), a petting farm, Italian Rose Garden, biergartens, hiking paths, herb gardens, an incredible playground, and more.
Jack is down here asking me to write a note to post above his bed to remind him not to crawl out the window...dear lord help me to just kiss the boy and send him on his way.
So, back to Mainau Island...Gracie was in paradise in the schmetterlingshaus. We prayed for a butterfly to land on Gracie but no such luck. She was so patient and loved seeing the different types of butterflies. Jack, Molly and I liked it for awhile, but got hot and wanted to leave. Luckily Michael is a super father and stayed in the hot house with our animal lover.
It was a beautiful day, the kids loved every minute of it and we willl go again as soon as we can!!! Visitors are coming soon! The girls last day of school is June17th, Nana, Uncle Mark and Aunt Amanda come on June 18th...then to Italy!!
