Krk Waterfall
After Slovenia, we headed to explore Croatia.  Our first stop was Krk Waterfall.
To get to the waterfall you can either hike in or take a boat (which is included in your admission price).  We decided it would be more fun to take the boat.  It was super windy, but the kids loved it.




There is about an hour hike around the park so you can see the waterfalls at different angles.

Our little ones put their toesie-toes in this lake as well.
After Krk Waterfalls we made the long drive down to Dubrovnik.  This stretch was long, and included a short few kilometers in Bosnia.  Sasha, Scott and Brandon (Simon's sister and family) came to Europe and they were able to meet up with us on part of our trip.  It was great to have them along!  We spent a few days together, then they headed to Italy and then met us back in Munich.
This was the view from our hotel window in Dubrovnik.  We had to walk up 100 stairs every time we wanted to go to the hotel.  We also ended up staying in what was the living room of this family, which was a little funny.  We even found the hotel on a reputable website that we always use.

Dubrovnik is a charming little medieval city in the southernmost tip of Croatia, totally worth the drive down.
Our favorite part was the walking the walls around the entire city.

The next day we hiked up to get a view of the city.

Brandon was the favorite buddy of Auburn (and Conley).

Poor Conley got attacked by a mosquito one night.  Mosquitoes love him, luckily the bites didn't seem to bother him at all.

After Dubrovnik, we drove up to Split to see Diocletian's Palace.  It was is a palace that was built by a Roman Emperor in 300 AD.  You can explore the ruins today.


The next day we headed to Novalja Beaches.  Simon had done some research about the best beaches and found this little jem of a beach.  We had to drive a little bit, but it was beautiful.  The beach was a little sandy and the water was calm so the kids could play in the water.  There were a few people there when we got there, but they left soon after we arrived and we had the whole place to ourselves.  The weather was nice and hot.  It was such a perfect day.

I know that he is only barely two, but he looks so grown up to me.


We spent the night in Zadar.  We had pizza and gelato for dinner.

That night we walked to the water to see the sunset.

It's a ......

We found out last past week that we are expecting .... a baby boy! We are super excited! I had a feeling ever since we found out that I was pregnant that would be having a boy. Auburn came to the ultrasound with us and repeatedly said "baby" while we looked at the screen. We are excited for her to have a little brother. We just need to start thinking of baby boy names ....

Auburn's blessing

On Sunday, November 23rd, Simon was able to bless our precious little Auburn. Grandpa and Grandma Hill were able to be here for the blessing. I know that Papi and Grandma Little wished they could of been here as well. We had an earlier visit from the Littles when Auby was just a few weeks old. Grandma Hill made her beautiful dress and Grandma Perkins made her blanket. This weekend we had our first snowfall. The temperature was frigid and there was still snow on the ground. It still turned out to be a wonderful day. Auburn was her perfect little self. She didn't cry at all and her Daddy gave her a beautiful blessing. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
