Frankfurt, Prague, Paris, Dresden.....

We went to Germany to surprise my mom for her 50th birthday. While there we also took a short trip to Paris and went with my whole family to Prague. On the way home from Prague we drove through and stopped in Dresden....totally planned ;). When we came home I was uploading the pictures from our trip to the computer and Ty got angry because he couldn't play on the computer so he went over and pounded on the keyboard and...bibbety bobbety boo....the pictures had been deleted of the camera. Some of our friends helped us restore some of the pictures but most of the them are just gone. Anyway, here are some of them and sorry they are all out of order but I don't want to fix them.
Laney and Ty playing on my mom and dad's back porch....if Ben hadn't expected me to come back home I would have been sitting there still.
Uhm....I don't know quite know what to write about this picture except that the kids had SOOOO much fun with their uncle Zak. And Zak is a SUPER uncle.
The kids helped my mom put in some new flowers in the backyard.
Ty relaxing in Zak's hammock chair.
We went to a dinosaur exhibit at one of the malls.

In Paris you could rent one of these little sailboats and then play with them in a little pond.
Ty as the statue of liberty on a huge fun playground in Frankfurt.While driving up in the Czech mountains one day my mom got pulled over TWICE within 20 minutes for routine drunk driving test.....

There is a golf course close to my parent's house where is a little pond. We brought bread along and fed the fish. It was really fun. When we walked back to the car we heard some frogs by another pond. It was really cool to hear how loud they were and we also spotted quite a few.
Chatting by the fountain in Jicin.
Pulling faces on the boat on the Seine river.

We had so much fun and had a hard time coming back to Utah. Laney even said that she was going to stay til she turned 6 and Ty wanted Zak to come with us to Utah. Tak fordi vi maatte komme og "crashe" jeres ferie, Mor og Far. Vi havde det rigtig sjovt.

What Happened in March 2009....

We celebrated Laney's and Ty's birthdays early because we went to Germany to surprise Mormor for her 50th birthday.

And had A LOT of fun.
We even let other kids try out our kites.
