YUM-YUM

One of the best things about Italy was the food. The kids loved the spaghetti and the gelatto....we ate gelatto at least 2 times a day. It was amazing!!!! I was surprised because even Logan who really doesn't like ice cream liked the gelatto. We enjoyed the outside seating at the restaurants and had such a great time. The top picture is when we were in Venice. On that day all of the public water boats were on strike. But, we still managed to have a great time. We ended up getting a water taxi to take us to the airport. It was great! It was like a limo on the water....the kids LOVED it!

So much fun!!

St Mark's Square - Venice

The most popular spot for the kids during the entire vacation. They loved feeding the birds and chasing the birds. There were well over 100 pigeons surrounding us. It was way more exciting than the museums.

These pictures are taken at St. Stephen's Green which is in the center of downtown Dublin. We love coming here to feed the ducks and walk around the shops. The buildings you see in the top picture are on Parnell Street which is a fun tourist area. We love DUBLIN!!

For church we attend a branch(congregation) of about 40-50 people. This picture is taken from one end of the chapel. As you can see it is pretty small. We helped the Senior primary(8-11) plan this Halloween activity. The pinata was the highlight of the night. As you can see, Logan was getting some good swings in.

Here are some fun pictures of the kids. Samantha is happy and all smiles and Logan is conquering the obstacle course at our playground. I can't believe how fast the kids are growing up.

I think this picture speaks for itself. After the playground and the waterfall the kids were pooped. And mom and dad had a quiet drive. It doesn't get any better than that.
