week in pictures

This is our week in pictures. Some of it anyway.

We enjoyed some good New Hampshire ice cream.

My two cute princesses trying to gobble up big bowls of ice cream so they can go and run around.

We had plenty of rainy days last week.
So when the sun finally peeked out of the clouds we took the opportunity and headed out to the beach.

My beach girls.

And my beach boys

Grandma got to wash her feet in three oceans in last four months.

Indian, Pacific and Atlantic ocean.

Silly grandpa.

One of the houses along the coast.

Anybody else wants to come over and enjoy the New England summer? The Steiger Clan hotel is open for business.

Strawberries

Annual strawberry picking. This year we had help from grandma and grandpa.

We got total of 20lb (10kg) of fresh strawberries. I made two batches of jam, froze two gallons for winter months to make smoothies and the for eating for a few days.

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.
