The Czech Republic

We were blessed to get to take a road trip during the prettiest time of year with the leaves in their prime.  Our first time to the Czech Republic, we saw the sights.  This time was more relaxed with more time enjoying our friends in their new place about 30 minutes away from downtown.  We did go to church downtown, which was neat.

All of our kids played amazingly well together, especially considering that they have no language in common.  Their oldest remembered a few words from his short time in German kindergarten, and had fun teaching us some Czech.  We learned lots of animal names and sounds.  One time, I was holding up a pair of socks, trying to ask him what to call them in Czech.  He looked at me like I was crazy, pulled them apart for me, and showed me what to do with them.



Their home, lifestyle, and area reminded me of Montana.  We enjoyed trying new foods, playing games, going on walks, and just being together.

I am so glad you are taking the time to explore while you are there. The girls will be so used to seeing and playing on the fabulous playgrounds that they might be disappointed when they come home to the parks here. Thank you for sharing all of your travels and times away. Miss you guys!
