Quick Trip to Frankfurt

 Zak was in a couple of scenes in "Shakespeare in the Garden" at his school, so Nyah and I decided that we really wanted to go and see him. We took the train since it's pretty cheap and takes about the same amount of time as driving.
 Nyah sat like this in her seat for about 5 minutes then she was all over. I had to bring her car seat since we were going to be driving back to Eschenbach with my mom. So getting on the train and switching trains, I carried Nyah in the backpack and then I had the car seat, a duffel with our stuff and my camera bag. I must have looked at little bit like a pack mule. But it was nice to have the car seat on the train because it kept Nyah entertained trying to buckle it. :D
 This was on the stretch from Nurnberg to Frankfurt. I had put the car seat on the floor in front of Nyah's seat since her legs are not that long. She thought it was great 'cause she could sit or stand on the car seat and use the train seat as a table for all her toys. On this stretch Nyah also decided to flirt with every single passenger. It got to the point where I didn't know where to look when she was just flirting away with somebody. It was pretty funny.
 Well, we made it and my dad picked us up at the train station in Frankfurt. A couple of hours later we drove up to Zak's school. There must have been a lot more people than what they planned 'cause they weren't enough chairs for everybody, but that was okay 'cause Nyah and I got to stand/sit by all the actors and actresses which of course included Zak. Nyah of course immediately started flirting with Zak and his friends. Anyway, this first picture is of Zak in 'King Lear'. It was kinda hard to take good pictures of him in this play since he was on the other side of the 'scene' from where we were situated.
 This was his big scene in 'Twelfth Night'. He did an AWESOME job (in both) and it was so fun to see him and his friends acting.
 He really did great. He's an excellent actor and I'm so proud of him for being so brave (and a little jealous) since he not only tried-out but also made it into 2 plays already. (I memorized the whole scene to try-out and then chickened out...boooh! :( )
Well done, Zak-chen!!!....You're a real Shakespearean actor in my book! :D
