walking

Kason and I got some good walking done today.  It was finally nicer out even though still windy at some point (reason for Kason always wearing a hat or a hood ) so we were finally able to walk around the downtown area.  It was much nicer the few days after I came but we were busy visiting with the family or recouping from not enough sleep then.  So we made up for lost time and took a bunch of pictures on our tour of some of the downtown area.  Kason wanted to see the castle from up close and at first I thought it would be too far but it really wasn't and the views up there are beautiful.  Ehren and I took some of our wedding pictures there and it reminded me of how we took pictures at some of the same spots as Kason and  I did today.  It was a great time and Kason didn't complain about too much walking at all.

It was a pretty busy day too.  Kason did some painting with babka (grandma) and the 3 of us went to visit my sister-in-law Slavka who just had their first baby.  He is so sweet and little, hard to imagine our kids were that small at one time.  Then Kason and I did our walking around town and it was time for dinner.

Mom and I also got some shopping done in the evening so it was a full day.  I love how they have the new big mall so close to their apartment, it takes less than 5 minutes to walk there.  I took Kason there a couple times too and he would go from store to store and telling me "mom, it is Beautiful here." :)  Instead of huge department stores inside the mall they have a lot of smaller ones but they are all very shiny and sparkly, trendy and just a lot more appealing than the stores in our malls.  They had some fun Easter decorations there we took pictures of with Kason.

So here are a bunch of pictures from the last couple days and I'll put some descriptions on some of them.  We have one more day tomorrow and then it's time to pack up and leave.  The time has just flown by so quickly, but I know it didn't quite fly like that for Ehren. :) We're going to look at some gardens in Austria tomorrow and it should be a bit warmer so I'm glad.  I am bracing myself for all that snow that is waiting to greet us when we get home.
