Beautiful Fall Day

We spent Saturday outside visiting some nearby cities and having a picnic on a lake in the park. Here is a picture of the girls, aren't they getting so big?

Castle in Ogrodzieniec, Poland

On our way back to Olsztyn from Katowice, we stopped to see this awesome castle. No picture could really capture how large and awesome it is. It lies in ruins now, but it must have been quite a site when it was complete.

Kosciuszki Mound - Krakow , Poland

Hello from Krakow! We had a great time this weekend on a short trip to visit friends in Katowice, Poland.

Bubble Science

This is Rebecca making a gigantic bubble! The girls studied about water and surface tension yesterday and making bubbles was part of that.

New Family Pet???

We have a new family pet... kind of. He (or she) is a bat! A very cute bat we think. He visits us nightly when he takes feeding breaks under the eaves of our back porch.

Unusually Warm Day

We had a warm day recently, I know it's warm still in the US but here it is already cooling down. It was so nice, we all went outside. Here is Becca in the sand having a nice fall afternoon.

Art Class

On Fridays we study art. Here are the girls studying how to draw and color realistic 3D shapes.

WF?

You were wondering what WF means? It means the same thing at PE in English. This is our fall and spring WF program... ride bikes! Here are Abby, Cara and Sean out for their afternoon exercise!

Tour de Pologne

The Tour de Pologne is a bicycle race with 184 riders similar to the Tour de France. Yesterday was the first day of the race, it started in Warsaw and ended in Olsztyn. We spent the afternoon watching the race and thought you would like to see a picture from our view point. It was awesome, they went right in front of us like this three times. The girls thought is was really cool.

End of Summer

We were blessed to join the Baptist church in Olsztyn for an end of Summer camp on Saturday and Sunday. We stayed in a little cabin like the one shown above. We had a great time. As soon as we arrived on Saturday, we had coffee, tea and snacks with our adopted Grandmother, Wala. We also had coffee, tea and snacks twice on Sunday! Once immediately after the AM church service before lunch and again after lunch in the afternoon. We got to spend a great deal of time just sitting and visiting with the believers from this church. We joined in church services on Saturday and Sunday and played volleyball, scrabble and badmitton. On Saturday night, there was a campfire where we roasted kielbasa (sausages) and fellowshipped around the fire. It was a really nice weekend. I wish we could share it with each of you, you would have been blessed to spend such a special time with these believers.
