Miramare Castle in Trieste and the view of the Adriatic from our climb. Trieste is about an hour away and this climb had THE BEST view!!
Climbing with the Shackelford's in Dardago. Dardago is only 15 minutes from our front door, but doesn't have the amazing view of the Adriatic like Trieste. But, it's great to have such good climbing so close to our house!
The pics ended up being out of order, these are all shots from the Colosseum. We went to Rome for my birthday this year and had a great time! Brighton enjoyed all the stairs and "climbing" there was in the Colosseum. For the most part, it worked out well - she played around while we walked and looked at stuff.
Tom and I got to spend our 5th anniversary in Venice all by ourselves!! We left Brighton with our friends the Wynns and went shopping on Murano and walked around St Mark's. We had planned on going inside, but then saw the ginormous line going around the whole church and decided we would wait until September when all the tour groups are gone.
Our ward had a 4th of July party at the base pool. It was planned perfectly - dinner at 7, swimming from 8-10 and then watch the fireworks at 10:15. Such a great idea! And then it decided to thunder, then came the lightning, and finally the rain. Poor Brighton, she had barely been in the water maybe 3 minutes when the thunder rolled in and the lifeguards made us get out of the water. She couldn't understand why she had to get out. We thought about hanging out and waiting for the fireworks, but since B is still too young to really care or know about fireworks, we decided to leave when it started to pour. Once again we missed the fireworks (three years running) but it's okay, we still had fun!

Amazing pictures!!
so many fun pics to look at! You found some climbing? Is it close by?
Thanks guys! Shiloh - there's actually lots of climbing around here since we're right at the base of the Dolomites. The recent pics are from Dardago, which is about 15 minutes from our front door. We've also gone to Trieste, which is on the coast and about an hour away. Dardago is great cause it's close, but there's no room for B to run around, so it's easier if we get a sitter rather than take her.
WOW, I haven't checked your blog in a while, but holy cow you guys are lucky be able to do all that you are doing. Looks like you are living it up! And congrats on baby #2.
