My 3rd Polish Basketball camp!

On August 21-28, I was able to be at another basketball camp!!! We stayed at a really nice place, in a city about 2 hours away. The name of the city is Maniowy. I was rooming with 3 other girls, and it was alot of fun! There was an ice cream and pizza store close by too! We practiced twice a day (usually). For our meals, we had to walk (just down the road) to the town's Catholic church. In the back of the church, there were some apartment rooms. We were able to eat in a very small cafeteria type area. About 1 or 2 miles away there was a huge lake!!! A couple of the days we went "swimming!" I had sooooooo much fun!!!!!!!! Here are some pictures!!!!! Oh, I also got a new camera!!!! I was able to take pictures of our camp with it!This is the gym we practiced in! This picture was taken from our balcony!This is the big church!That was my bed!

Morskie Oko!

Last Monday, our family went to Zakopane with Sarah, a journey girl here in Krakow. We went to a lake called Morskie Oko, in the Tatra Mountains!!! It was really pretty!!! The water in the lake was so clear that you could see far out into the lake! It was also 50 degrees cold up by the lake! The hike up to the lake and back down was 10 miles!!! I was able to get some cool pictures. Enjoy looking at them!



Kitten Pictures!!!


Soooooooo Adorable!!!!!!!

We are coming to the end of summer...

Well, my summer has been really fun! I have had a great time not having to do any school!!!! We have gotten to swim some, and it has been really fun! About 2 weeks ago, we went to a bed and breakfast type thing for 1 night. It was very nice, and there was an indoor swimming pool! The lady that owned the lodge had a Persian cat! The cat had 2 adorable kittens! They were really cute! In the village, we found another kitten! And we decided to keep him!!!!! He is about 2 months old, and he is reallllllly cute! We named him Milo! He is very playful!

I have basketball camp this Friday for 1 week! I am excited!!! We have already started our practices!!! The practices are alot of fun!! I'll post a few pictures of our new kitten!

Softball!!!

Earlier this month, we had part of a softball team come to Krakow for one week! They did a kid's camp, where they were able to teach kids the basics of baseball/softball! It was really fun! They had an average of 30-50 kids come each day!!! Also one of our collegues has started a Krakow Tigers baseball. The girls were able to meet the guys and help teach basic baseball! On their free days, I helped show the girls around Krakow! It was really fun and I had a great time with them! Below are some pictures!The pastor's wife (who came with the softball girls) is a professional photographer. She was able to get these awesome pictures!Just some group pictures!!!
I think the girls were a little tired!During the kids camp, several of the basketball girls came to translate. It was really fun!
