Water Fun Park Schladitzer See

After a heavy thunderstorm with golf ball size hail last night, we awoke this morning to sunshine, blue skies and really fresh air!  At school in the morning, we were helping in the younger English classes again and then we met at the train station for our short S-Bahn ride to Schladitz.  Frau Haschke met us at the S-Bahn station to collect our bags so that we had a bit lighter load during our 2 mile walk to the lake.  She continued to shuttle back and forth and so we all arrived at the Lake in time to change into swimsuits and begin our SUP (stand-up-paddle board) lesson.  

All students did an amazing job paddling all over the lake, and we all stayed on our boards until our instructor challenged us to jump backwards and forward.  Needless to say, a lot of us started to enjoy the refreshing lake and went for a short swim 😉  And once the first person fell off, it was way more fun to flip our friends off the boards than actually trying to stay on the boards.  

In short, we had a great time and that was only half of the water fun.  After the SUPing, we went to the Fun Water Park - a huge bouncy obstacle course.  

While we were bouncing, running and climbing around the water park several of our host parents arrived and prepared a wonderful grill (BBQ) dinner for us with a variety of meats and bratwursts, salads and snacks.  

We finished the evening with a "mean" game of volleyball!   

Another memorable and fun day in Leipzig and it is hard to believe that we only have one week left.
