Tadhg commemorates the Velvet Revolution


Tuesday, November 17th, was the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution and the end of communism in the Czech Republic (or Czechoslovakia as it was 20 years ago). This day is now commemorated as a national holiday in the Czech Republic, so dad got the day off work and was able to spend the entire day with Tadhg.

Tadhg and dad were ready early in the morning and went to Sea World Prague (Morsky Svet) with Jake and Jake's mum. Tadhg had been here once before when he was much younger and wasn't overly impressed. On this visit Tadhg was able to appreciate the fish, baby crocodiles, frogs and lizards much more and had a great time running around.

After lunch and a nap, Jake and his mum came over to Tadhg's house for an afternoon play date. Tadhg enjoyed showing Jake all his toys and having a snack together at Tadhg's toddler sized table and chairs.

It was a busy day and Tadhg was happy to lounge on his sofa with dad playing with his toys before getting ready for bed. Tadhg and dad both enjoyed being able to spend a week day together again. It's hard to believe it has been 20 years since the end of communism in Tadhg's adopted country!
