All Aboard to Sarajevo

Usually a trip to Sarajevo involves a windy 4 hour car-sick inducing car ride.  Because of this we've been reluctant to take the boys.  However, in August the railroads here opened up a new Banja Luka to Sarajevo line with brand new trains. Foster and I did a test trip and had such a great time that we brought Kai back a few weeks later.  What a fun trip, although a tired mom and boys after 5 hours each way on the trip. It was a 5:30 start in Banja Luka, an early day.

A nice gentleman who road down with us on the train and then we ended up riding back with him the next day.  He was so sweet with the boys-- a grandpa himself. And actually lives lose to us in Banja Luka.  We had to switch trains on the way back and he was so helpful and kept the boys entertained.

At the Carwash

What happens when 3 little boys are being too quiet for too long and you add some jets and bubbles--you get a car wash. LIterally under all of these bubble were Fillip's whole collection of cars and trucks.

Some scenes from trick-or-treating

 

 

Trick or Treat

 We hosted a party at our house for Foster and Kai's friends.  We played games, decorated pumpkins, had scary treats and most importantly went trick-or-treating.  No one in Banja Luka knows this strange tradition, but once the kids understood, they were happy to go to some of neighbors houses and fill their bags.

And Grandpa being a good sport at the party and playing the mummy!
