Eastern Slovakia (Castles and Churches)

Eastern Slovakia

Still need to catch up on a few activities happening in Slovakia. We took a road trip with the McDonalds in May. It was 3 or 4 days driving across the country. I don't actually remember how long we were gone, I just remember driving, driving and driving.


We had a great time. We hit all the major cities. Kosice was my favorite, but I don't think anyone else agreed as they all only wanted to spend a few hours there.

Bremen and Isiah are running down the street of a small village with 3 May poles standing in the background. The village had a stream running down the middle of the road for people to get their water. What a life.



Kosice is famous for their "singing fountains". You know, foutains that move to the music. Bremen decided to play music conductor.

Bremen the Photographer

Well, for those of you who didn't know, we were in AZ from around Christmas until the 21st of March. At least Bremen and I were. Kevin flew in and out a couple times.

While we were home, Bremen attended preschool with Grandma Sandy. Apparently one day at school he was playing with a toy camera. He pointed and shot, bent down, peered upward, turned the camera, pointed and shot again. He did this several times appearently getting pretend shots of the room from every angle. He's obviously been watching Mommy doing the only thing she does when we travel.

Uncle Jon heard this story and thought it was pretty interesting. He gave Bremen a free-bee digital camera he'd gotten from work. I added a card and carrying case and took Bremen on a tour of our new neighborhood in AZ (we bought a house for some crazy reason) and he took some at the Phx zoo. I thought you might want to see some of the pics, so here they are.

I'll try to keep on top of taking him out on photo shoots. I think it's pretty neat myself.

We celebrated International Children's Day at Bremen's school last Friday. Groups of children took the stage to celebrate their nationality. Bremen participated with the North American group with a line dance and singing "Home on the Range" around a campfire. Bremen held a fake marshmallow on a long stick over the "fire". Rather than singing, he spent the length of the song pretending to eat his marshmallow.

There was also representation from Sweden, Japan, Italy, Germany, Slovakia and South Korea (there is a big KIA plant in the area). All groups did well. I learned a lot from the presentations. Did you know that Italy is known for gourmet food, soccer players, fast cars, fashion models and the movie Gladiator?

Growth Update: Bremen is now a little over 39 1/2 inches. With shoes, he can now go on most of the rides at Disneyland.
