Spain - part III

This is the last and final post, I promise.

Cadaques
It was a beautiful coastal town.

Montserrat
A monastery set up in the montains. We went for a hike to get a good view.




Casa Batillo


La Sagrada Familia


The Salvador Dali museum

Cosmocaixa
The coolest science museum I have ever been to. This is actually inside. It had so many interactive attractions.
Villareal game
Plaza Mayor in Madrid

Palace in Madrid



Plaza de Toros in Madrid

We saw a competition where these guys tried to do stunts with the bulls. This guy would flip over the bulls as they were charging him. It was crazy.


We went to see a real bull fight later. Do you know what they do to the bull?
The last game the night before we left. Simon went to see Atletico Madrid.
We had a wonderful time!

Wow! What cool experiences and sites to see. I just realized that I should start a log for the places my kids have gone. I know there are pictures, but sometimes when you look at just a list of something you realize how much (or little) it really is. Aubry will be quite the traveler before she even hits her first birthday!!

Jodi,
If was fantastic to get to see you family's pictures and read about all of your adventures. I can see why you wanted to give Germany a try! Little Auby is just precious. I hope to get to meet her in August and see you again also.

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.

Simon made a video of our trip to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Since I haven't gotten around to posting about the rest of our trip (that happened a year ago), I am just going to post the link to the movie on youtube.  Hope you enjoy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLnUgh7HfbM
