A trip to the Coast

This trip was at the end of May, but just getting around to finally posting the pictures. After bidding the Grandmas Adieu, in Zagreb. We headed to Slovenia, Piran to be more precise. A small city on the Adriatic which is a Unesco world heritage site. Once we figured out ho to navigate the city which was closed to car traffic, we were fine. We walked around through the beautiful small allies, saw the stunning scenery and splashed around a bit in the water, which was too chilly for swimming. On the way home we spent a few hours in Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia and understood why people call it the "jewel box," can't wait to go back for a longer time to explore.

Trip to Split

We had our first non-family visitors to Banja Luka--yay! TJ and Megan came by Banja Luka for a few days and then we made the 5 hour road trip to Split. They were troopers, going over crazy Bosnian roads and listening to Foster "are we there yet." Then we got to Split and found an actual beach with sand. Foster was immediately in the water, although he thought it was "spicy" (salty) and hurt his nose. He made sand castles and played in the water with TJ and Megan. Kai wasn't keen at first, but then when left alone for awhile he warmed up to the idea and was soon scooting into the water, throwing rocks to make them splash and even stealing someone else's ring tube. The next day we headed to a small island Sepetar and took the ferry there. Foster and John were dare devils on the crazy steep slide. Then we parted ways with TJ and Megan heading to Hvar and we headed home after a little more beach time.

Mačka--My first word

Kai has been using "da" for a lot of things, dad, mom, Vera, Foster. Sometimes it becomes "dad" and this morning there was a "ma-ma." Then we went to Vera's and he was so excited by her cats, giggling and grabbing their tails. As Vera was pointing to the cat, out of the blue Kai says "macka," the Serbian word for cat. I better start working on my Serbian now to keep up with him.
