Day 2 - Sommerhausen

The second day of our trip we spent the day with an old friend of mine named Jan Schimmer. He took us to a little village called Sommerhausen where they have a Wildepark (petting zoo/playground) for Jasmine to have a good time. Well, no question, she had an amazing time. She gathered fall leaves, petted and fed goats, pigs, donkeys and sheep and played on a massive playground. We spent the greater part of the day here and my favorite part was Jasmine running after the roosters with her little arms outstretched again telling them she would hold them. She showed absolutely no fear for any of the animals and really enjoyed feeding them (See the video at the bottom!).

Afterwards, we took a stroll in the village of Sommerhausen and looked in some shops, they had some antique and gift shops, and tried to find a cafe to have a little something to eat. We weren't successful in finding the cafe. Jan then took us to his mother's house so we could meet her and his stepfather and we had a nice, short visit there. Afterwards, we were hungry so Jan went to dinner with us to a nice little Italian restaurant and the food was great.

The night ended after another LONG dinner and Jan took us back to Omi's house for bedtime.Jasmine shows no fear in feeding the sheep!
