Back to babi's house

Tuesday, May 13, 2014

   Steve and I woke up early – at 5 AM. As usual, it was light outside and we got to packing and cleaning up. Jarka and Petr came over at 8:30 AM  and by then we were ready to go (we have even finished breakfast). We said our goodbyes with Jarka and Petr drove her to work. He came back a few minutes later to visit some more. We again invited him to visit us in Tennessee and he said that he was increasing the odds of them traveling to the US from 15% to 30%.  

   We left shortly after 10 AM. The weather was better than during our drive to Moravia and we arrived in Kladno in 5 hours. 

   Mom had a nice dinner ready for us.

   To recover from the long drive, we went to the pool. This time we stayed longer in the pool and the boys did not make it out of the lockers on time. Hannah and I made it about a minute before our time expired (we buy tickets for 90 minutes) but the boys were about 2 minutes too late. When they inserted their chips in to unlock the turnstile, they were detained until they paid for additional time.

   Babi paid for the kids to play in the play area in Oaza. They had a good time but were not quite as excited as the first time as they already knew the toys. We ate Chinese in the food court for lunch, had coffee, ice cream and got grocery shopping done.

   I went grocery shopping in the morning to get the things we needed for the party on Saturday. We planned a little early party for Stevie’s and Hannah’s birthdays and also for Vlada’s nameday. In the afternoon we went to Doksy to visit the Drahos family. We visited for a little while while Hannah and Stevie played. We also made arrangements with Pepa to drive us to the train station in Prague when we leave. We stopped at Tesco on the way back and bought another deck of prsi cards and a few other items.
