slovenia - part II


The next few days we spent in Slovenia mainly doing outdoor stuff.  

Kozjak Waterfall
This feeds into the Soca river which we went to later in the day.  It was about a half an hour hike in to this waterfall and well worth it.

It was really loud inside because of the waterfall and the kids were not so sure of it at first, but after a few minutes they loosened up a little bit.


We spent an entire day by the Soca river.  It is this beautiful blue river in Slovenia.  The water looked so inviting, but unfortunately it was freezing.  We were able to do some hiking at different areas of the lake, and resisted the urge to jump in.



Another favorite activity of the kids was throwing rocks into the water.  I love this action shot of Auburn.

Conley and Auburn were both brave enough to put their toes in the water for a few seconds.

Lake Bohinj
We stayed a lovely little apartment a few minutes away from this lake.  One morning we got up and hiked up to the viewpoint.

Vintgar Gorge 
This is a gorge that is a few kilometers away from Lake Bled.  We have visited a few gorges, but I think we both agreed that this was our favorite.  The water was pristine and the gorge almost fairy tale like in some places.



Our last stop in Slovenia was another soccer game.  We caught the last game of the season.  NK Maribor won the league in Slovenia that year so there was a huge party going on outside.

Mexico - Mayan ruins II

Simon's parents had to get back to their mission in Mexico City and we continued on our trip.  We saw a lot of ruins, 9 in total.  This is the next post of Mayan ruins.  It was actually great for the kids as well.  They could run around, climb and explore. It was interesting to see the differences at each sight.  The kids had their favorites by the end of the trip.  We also taught them a little bit about Mayan culture. Edzna   These well preserved carvings were great.       Palanque These were probably my favorite ruins.  It is set in the jungle and it felt very peaceful there. It is hard to believe that only 10 percent of the structures are actually uncovered.  The rest are still covered by the jungle. some well preserved carvings waterfalls in the middle of the ruins The Palace   Temple of Inscription   The kids had a great time climbing up and exploring...

She has been smothered with kisses by them and everyone in the family wants to snuggle with her.
