Our first playdate was scheduled with Max's classmate and fellow fodball spiller Andreas. It was definitely a slow go, especially in comparison to our experience now. There were a lot of hand signals and we pulled out the dictionary once or twice, but all in all we dubbed the event a success!
What better place to cap off an afternoon like that? Why Mcdonald's of course! It was our first event without our tour guides Finn, Daniel, Simone or Philip and I, for one, was nervous! But when we arrived I realized that I had nothing to fear... the Mcdonald language is universal. Maybe I should fear that instead??? Anyway, four Happy meals and an Olympic meal later and there were four kids rockin' out to the current Mcdonald toy ipods.
Sophie finding comfort in the fact that a plain cheeseburger happy meal is the same no matter where you are!
One of the funniest visuals I have seen in awhile! The word GYM inside a Mcdonald's. Perhaps soon they will market to adults that way. Dangle a Big Mac like the proverbial carrot in front of the runner for a reward. That is a marketing twist that I can do without! :)
The playplace is a hoot though! There are bicycling games, and Dance, dance revolution, and an even obstacle course to encourage a healthy lifestyle. 
I guess the best thing about it though was that the kids didn't realize a thing. They just started the activities that they know and love. So, the playplace here is a-ok in my book. If we have to come to the golden arches, lets at least work off some of what we've consumed!

I keep intending to go to McDs and take a pic of the prices... just to make everyone at home realize that the "dollar menu" does not exist everywhere!!
