One of our moms has been here for a week with a 3 year old son and they are going stir crazy so I took them to a couple of of playgrounds in the area.
The weather started out with the sun shining but in the middle of the afternoon it turned cold and cloudy so we headed in search of an indoor playgound and found one at a mall next to the food court. Issac seemed to really enjoy the afternoon and got lots of running out of his system!
Wednesday is cheap night at the theatre so Glenn and I went to see Marley and Me, and then noticed the movie He's Just Not That Into You was also playing so we went to see it on Thursday night. (Wednesday we are heading out of town on a trip and therefore we couldn't wait to hit cheap night again so we had to pay full price which is $6. What do movies cost in America now?)
Now, did you notice how I was dressed on our night out? Cordoroy pants and a sweater with comfortable shoes. I had to be the most UNDERdressed woman there. Most of the Hungarian women (especially younger ones) dress up when they leave the house, even if they are just going to the grocery store. This is one thing noticeable difference between Hungarian and American women. It seems Americans are more concerned with their comfort than looks :)
Saturday, Glenn and I joined the families at the Eden House for a cook-out of burgers, dogs, chicken and all the sides. It was a great time of fellowship and the food was dee-licious!
We had quite a spread!
Beginning this Wednesday Glenn and I begin traveling again. (The past 5 weeks have been very nice at home!) We have traveled in the past year to places way far away and not been to see many of our folks that live in Hungary and surrounding countries, so in the next couple of weeks we are going to visit friends in eastern and western Hungary and Slovakia. We are also going to spend one night in Vienna, Austria to go check out a place call Barnabas Centrum, a counseling center that specializes in marriage. No, it is not for us. We just want to see if it would be a good resource for our families.
We leave Wednesday and return on Sunday. Have a good week!

That crazy thing in the first picture looks like something that Adam would just love! And "Afrikaland?" How crazy is that? I have to say that I'm glad for the comfort factor here in the U.S., even though I know we've taken it too far. But really.. if I tried to wear those pointy-toed torture devices that woman in the picture had on her feet, I'd be hobbling for DAYS! Blessings on your travels... I did want to say that all of the wonderful things you've sent/brought to us are being displayed at NCCS in Adam's music class; they are doing an "around the world" theme for the end of year show, and Adam is quite proud to show off all of his international gifts! Apart from simply treasuring them because they are from you, Adam will get great use out of them for many years to come!
Praying for all that you're doing.. (oh, and movies cost anywhere from $6 to $12, depending on whether it's a matinee, a 3D, etc....)
hugs....
MMmmm....the cookout food looks delicious. That's one thing we'll miss this summer! Oh well. We have a garden now instead, right?
I'll be on skype today if you have time to talk.
Love, K
Check out my latest post for a little shout-out... :<) hugs...
I always enjoy coming here for my very own personal serving of goulash! You guys have such an interesting life. I also love how you are using your lives to invest into the lives of others.

What in the world was on that lady's legs? Were those tattoo's? I wish i could tell you how much a movie cost here, however, I think it has been a few years since I have been to one. pretty sad state of affairs, if you ask me.
