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!

Greece!!!!!

Our most recent trip was to...Greece!!!!! It was so amazing!!! We went for AGM (Annual General Meeting)! First we went to Athens, Greece for 2 days, and then we went to an island called Evia. The resort which we stayed at was a 4 star hotel! It was really nice. We had a very good time in Athens! As we were flying in, you could see the ocean and the land. It was really pretty! In Athens we stayed at the Oscar Hotel. It had an outdoor pool on the roof, and it had an amazing view! We could even see the Acropolis! One day we went to eat at this really cool Greek restaurant! I ate a delicious chicken pita!!! For our touring day, we rode around Athens on an open top, double decker tour bus! We sat on the top and by the end of the day I had a decent sun burn! We got to see many sights. We were able to climb up and see the Acropolis and the Parthenon! It had an awesome view of the city! It was really neat! Afterwards we got slushies, because it was really, really hot!!!! The next day we left to go to the island. Our colleagues paid to take a bus to the airport, but we decided to take the train! From the hotel to the airport was 1 hour ride. Then from the airport we would get a bus to take us to the island (which was about 1 and a half hour ride). On the train we met another family going to AGM. They have a 3 year old little girl and an almost 1 year old girl! We finally got to Evia (the island). We stayed in like a village house type thingy. The hotel had a huge (and I mean HUGE) pool! They also had another pool, and it was a salt water pool! Nearby was a rocky beach! It was a really nice area! (Oh, and the food and cafeteria were both really nice too!) We had a great time seeing old friends and meeting new ones! Greece was amazing and I had a Greek (great) time!!!!!

The Chicago part of the USA trip!

Chicago was awesome! We stayed at a church, and it was really cool staying there. We stayed there for 2 nights and just about 2 days. We went to a mall close by and we were able to tour around the city! I got to go up to the top of the Sears Tower! It was a great view. We also went to a park, and we sat by Lake Michigan. One evening we went to a WNBA game. It was really fun! Below are some pictures. This is just a really, really tall building!!!!!This is the Sears Tower!!!!!This is the view of Chicago looking from the top of the Sears Tower!!!!!McKenna A.K.A.

Our USA trip!!!!!!!!

Sorry I haven't written in a while! April was a fun month with getting closer to the end of school! May was so much fun!!!!! I finished school a few days before our trip to.......TENNESSEE!!!!!!!!!!! That's right, Chattanooga, TN! We had been planning this trip for a while. My dad is the assistant coach for the 16 and 17 year old girls basketball here in Krakow. He had mentioned the idea to the coach about getting some basketball camps in and around Chattanooga for the girls to participate in! The coach loved the idea and thought it would be a great opportunity for all the girls. Through some sponsors, they raised enough money for 15 girls, 4 adults, and our family (of 5) to travel to the States! We stayed in the States for a total of 12 or 13 days! The girls were able to participate in a several different camps. They all had a great time! My family and I stayed with my grandparents!!!! It was so much fun getting to see family and friends!!!!! We also traveled to Chicago for 2 days. We were able to tour around in Chicago! It was sooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!!!! Above are some pictures of the trip!!!!!
