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.

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!
