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!

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. Me!!!!Another View!I am standing in front of Lake Michigan!Beautiful!This is the team before the WNBA game started. Once it started, we had to move WAY up in the stands!
We got our picture made with Candace Dupree. She played on the Chicago Sky team. She has also played with the professional team in Krakow!!!!!!!We had a great time at the game!!!!!!!!!!
