Pinta & Nina & ....

We took several field trips this spring.

Last week two replica's of Columbus' ships were close by and we just had to go and see. We got to go on board the Nina and Pinta and we were very surprised how small they were.

Yet they have made the journey across the ocean many times.

The kiddos had a blast exploring the ships.

They were ready to set sail

(all but Jo).

Lobster anyone?

Catching up ....

Wondering what we have been up to?

Well the girls finished their dancing year with a big dance recital. Emma on stage dancing to "Man of LaMancha"

Both girls

Emma had a fun this year learning a lot in her ballet lessons.

She is also doing much better playing soccer this spring.

And we finally took a trip to the beach.

The kids enjoy playing outside a lot even in the rain.

They are just enjoying life.

Let's see if we can get mom wet.

I have no idea how Jo stayed dry.

(Emma didn't)

I believe we can officially say spring made it to New England.

At the Airport - Again

We headed to the airport again this afternoon.

Eleven days ago we said good bye to Fil' parents at Prague's airport and today we said hi to them at Boston's Logan Airport. It was great seeing them even for just the evening.

They were pasing through Boston on their way to Denver.

The kids were so happy to see their grandparents again.

We took a little walk in downtown Boston and the kids enjoyed Carousel ride.

For dinner we stopped at the oldest restaurant in the USA. As you can see the boys enjoyed their ribs.

They had no problem gobbling up all their food.

We will see the grandparents in a month again. It was fun seeing them even just for little bit.

Sunday Last full day in Europe

On Sunday morning we said good bye to my mom's place and to the doggies. I am sure they are looking forward to peace and quiet time for a change.

It was also great to see my cousin and her daughter who came up all the way from Moravia to say hi to us. On the way back to Prague we took the train. Just because we could and it was fun run ride.

My mom with Emma.

In the afternoon we went for a walk with grandma and grandpa and took some lanterns with us to light them and send them up in the air.

Nate helping grandpa.

Two engineers.

Will it fly or not, that is the question!

And it did fly. First it got stuck but after that it was up in the sky. Can you see the tiny little dot in the sky?

My cute little girls. I bet daddy cannot wait to squeeze them. Almost home:)

Last Saturday in Europe

On our last Saturday in Europe we had fun playing around babi's house. Enjoyed the dogs.

Fido

Sam the secret agent.

Pen anyone?

And just enjoyed family time.

We miss daddy very much and cannot wait to see him again (just in case you haven't noticed that Fil disappeared out of the pictures. He is already back in US and we are looking forward to being together again).
