P1140075

I’m not sure what I just did but I did something. Yeah. I think?
P1140077

Time for art and crafts. Who says Anakin can’t wear pink glitter pants? Not me.
P1140082

Pinata time!
P1140103

What? No pull strings?
P1140107

I’m staying far away from Darth Vadar. He’s too scary for me.
P1140117

But that candy that just flew out of his head isn’t scary one bit.
P1140130

Can I eat one now? Just one?
P1140135

Now that I have some sugar in me, who wants some?
P1140140

Just kidding. I’m a good guy.
P1140141

Just like my buddy Mikey. Watch out Mikey! There is some dude in tight black pants behind you!
P1140172

Get him!!
P1140151

Mikey why is your hand behind your back? Are you a French fencer? Fight like a Obi-Wan!!
P1140154

Yeah! Present time!!!
P1140198

Oh no, Cole! Someone use the force to get him free!!
cole head stuck

Oh no, me!!! My trusty light saber is pointing the wrong way!
P1140199

Oh well. Nothing a little blue cupcake can’t fix.
P1140212

Bye!

Where are you guys going?
P1060164

Come back please! I don’t think they are listening.
drive

They are driving through the heart of Croatia to get to a place called Plitvitce Lakes. And passing by lots of war torn homes that we don’t see on the coast. Ouch.
P1060037

Why is this lady selling cheese by that tank?
P1060161

Looks like these fools made it there.
Imitating the 'do not do something' sign

Hello Plitvitce Lakes.
P1060058

Look how blue the water is.
P1060111

And waterfalls too?

And ducks!
P1060095

Not ducks! I can’t hear you.
IMG_5994

And brave fishes too since there is no fishing in National Parks? Not fair.
P1060109

Why is Mahky so happy? Oh, he is hoping for a new Facebook profile picture.
P1060118

And Dada? He’s just showing off.
P1060119

And me? I’m just reading my Dora book.
IMG_6034

P1060151

You are pretty far up that mountain.

P1060122

And what am I doing now? Eating watermelon with Dida.
IMG_6050

P1060139

How to make a smootie.

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Hi. I’m young Ava . Let me teach you know to make a smoothie.
Smoothie Making Time

Bust out your Magic Bullet and add berries. Some frozen bananas too.
Blackberries

And some yogurt. Don’t forget the juice.
Yogurt

Now step away from the Magic Bullet.
Scared of the blender

Because it is too loud for my little ears.
Watching from afar

And I don’t like loud sounds.
Watching from afar

But I do love my smoothies.
