Enjoying the Outdoors

My friend, Stephanie, came to visit for a month.  I’ve been really thankful that I’ve gotten to see her as much as I have considering where each of us thought we would be in the world.

While she was here our whole family was able to get out some and enjoy the late winter/early spring weather. March 15th is a holiday in Hungary, so we went to the rock quarry in our village and walked around.  Stephanie had never seen it before.  It is a really cool place.  Gary and I had one of the teachers take pictures of us there, which turned out to be our engagement pictures and the picture on our wedding invitation.  Ethan enjoyed picking up sticks he found. 

The next Saturday we went into the city to the Buda Hills (this particular place is called Janos Hegy).  We walked through the woods a while before getting to this tower that is in the picture below.

We probably should have put Sienna’s sunglasses on so she wouldn’t be making such a frowny face.A week later we went to a different place in the city.  This was the first place where Gary and I went hiking after Ethan was born (when he was 3 months old).  We hadn’t been back since then.

Our little rock climber.Ethan made it most of the way to the top on his own.  When he got near the top, he needed some help from Gary and then crawled over the top. Sienna didn’t make the whole hike.
