Vacation Week 2

This second week of school vacation has flown by. The weather has continued to be just beautiful . . . blue skies, sun shining, perfect temperature. Monday was a holiday here so Jason had the day off. We spent the day just hanging out as a family and then we went to our friends house for dinner. The girls had so much fun playing with their friends, Vivi and Michelle they didn't want to leave when it was time to go. We had to draw the line at some point so we headed home around 8:30pm and put the kids to bed. It was our first time to our friend's, Kelly & Michal's apartment. While we could get there by tram it just never seemed to work out. With the car it was so easy. I am looking forward to more dinners together with them. Tuesday was a pretty low key day. The girls had there yearly check ups at the doctor. It was there first yearly check up since being in the Czech Republic. I did slack a little bit on the yearly check-ups but don't worry they did see the doctor often enough with ear infections, knee pain etc. They did great on their check ups and are in perfect health. In the afternoon, the girls and I had lunch in a square near our apartment before bringing Sofia to Czech lesson. Wednesday was big day for us since we went to the Zoo with their friends Vivi and Michelle. Vivi and Michelle's grandmother joined us for the trip to the zoo too since she is in town visiting. It was such a easy pleasant day at the zoo. The weather was perfect. The kids were all behaving and I had good company to talk to while the kids enjoyed the animals.



Thursday we went out to my friend Emily's again. The kids had fun playing in the yard and in the house. My friend Shanna was also there with her three children so the kids had a lot of fun running around together. All of these things we have been able to do during this school vacation have been great and made so much easier and more enjoyable because we have the car.




On Friday we decided to head to the IMAX theater with my Laura and her son, Owen, to see the Dolphins and Whales movie in 3D. The movie wasn't as action packed as I had expected but the kids still had fun watching the movie. It was so funny to watch then as they kept reaching out to touch the dolphins and whales. I have to admit I reached out a couple times too since it really did seem like they were swimming right over us. After watching the movie we headed out into the mall and gave the kids McDonald's for dinner and then let them play in the McDonald's play area. They had a blast and were all hot and sweaty by the time we headed home. Yesterday we went to see my friend Joanna and her family in the afternoon. We hadn't seen them in quite a while since their trip to the united States started just when we got back from the United States. It was nice to see them and catch up on the last couple months. Today we will relax and prepare for the return to school tomorrow. It has been a fun and busy two week vacation.
