We had a great time with my brothers" families this weekend. I am not going to write a lot because I don"t have time right now but we took so many pictures I wanted to put some on here so you can at least see what we have been up to.
On Friday we went swimming at a hot springs pool and it was so nice and relaxing. It is not warm enough here for regular pools like Florida. :) But they have warm pools at this place which has a mineral spring coming into them and they actually have to cool the spring way down because the way it is naturally it would be too hot for people to go into. Mostly older people love going there because the hot pools are very good for their joints but I like it too. They have one pool that is just for swimming and it"s not that warm but it is just warm enough that when you swim and it is 40-60 degrees outside you"re not cold.
After that me and my mom went to an opera of Faust and it was pretty good. My first time at an opera even though we thought it was going to be a play, but it was actually pretty easy to understand and they sang very nice, not the high weird singing you always think of when you say opera :) so it was great to experience it.
And then we spent time with my brothers" kids on Saturday and Sunday and it was so nice to see them all together. Anika didn"t really join in on their shooting games but I know Kade would love chasing with the kids and shoot with their lego guns. We also went to a friends" house for a get together with lots of little kids but Anika was not herself by then because she was just exhausted from going to bed late and getting up early.
We are going to do more fun things this week, taking a train to Prague for a couple of days where one of my brothers lives, do some shopping and visit with as many old friends as I can. :) It can be hard when you have so many people you would like to catch up with so I have to prioritize because I don"t want us to be over scheduled and needing a vacation from my vacation.
PS: In case you are wondering I cannot find the apostrophy button on dad"s mac keybord so I am using quotation marks instead. :)
