Week 39

Rovinj, Croatia
Jeremy took me to Croatia to celebrate my 40th birthday!  He has to go to scout camp the week of my actual birthday so we went the weekend before. 


Happy 40th birthday to me!!


Our apartment in beautiful Old Town

This was such a peaceful place to rest at the end of the long days - we didn't see any other tourists up here unlike everywhere else in Rovinj

Leaving the Old Town 

The ground was all made of the rolled rock that was very slippery.  It was very difficult to walk on and I could only imagine how bad it was when it was wet.  Luckily, we made it without falling!

We took the ferry to neighboring islands.  We determined that Croatia is best seen from the water!

Rovinj - stunning!

Fresh sardines caught this morning!  So good!!

Selfie while we waited for the ferry
This is the restaurant where we had lunch on the island

Jeremy rented a private boat to take us out to some of the islands that were a little farther away


I spy a... speedo!!










I cut my foot on some rocks so I had to let it bleed out in the water



Our boat driver and photographer! :)


More fresh fish for dinner

Breakfast by the water

Farmers market


Lots of good shopping!  The best part was that everything was in Kuna so we had no idea how much money we were spending!

Walking up to the church



Time to go swimming now!





Jeremy is cliff jumping but you can't tell because I'm too close. haha!!








Yummy lunch!


Watching the fishermen cleaning their boat and nets after a long day



The perfect place to watch the sunset!

My heart, my life, my love!

Mexican restaurant in Croatia for dinner - and it actually (almost) tasted like a Mexican restaurant!

Our entertainers from Colombia

Jeremy was best friends with them before we left!



After leaving the party at the restaurant we happened upon another party going on right on the beach!  

The perfect end to the perfect weekend!  Thank you babe!

We had a great trip but were sooooo happy to see these cuties again!!

Week 38


Whitney was so happy that her BFF was back from vacation so they could Skype this week!!

We decided we were never going to survive here without a pool...


Well.... it's not this...

But it will do!

On another note...  we decided it was time to try the Italian Dentists.  Whitney was less than excited about it!  She had a really loose tooth and she was worried the dentist would pull it.  When she came out to the waiting room she proudly smiled showing us that he didn't pull it.  Aiden said "why didn't he pull that out" and barely touched her tooth.  Of course her tooth went flying, blood was everywhere, and Whitney was wailing!  The nurses and Dentist came running out to see what was wrong.  They took Whitney back to clean her up.  Brothers!!

First Game!!

They ended up losing a very close game right till the end.  Connor said he was disappointed they lost but thought the team played well so he was happy with the game overall.
Aiden was mad they lost! lol!
Jeremy is on a roll!  He just finished 2011 and 2012 blog books!!!!  They look so good!  I know it is very tedious work and very time consuming but these books are among my most highly valued treasures that I own.  Thank you Babe!!
