Vacation - Part 3

We spent a couple of days on a resort that is on a HUGE lake.

We spent a lot of time swimming in the pool.

Abby enjoyed getting a pedicure at the resort spa. 

The kids enjoyed lots of Daddy time!

We had an amazing room.  It had a porch, a living room and a master bedroom.  Audrey (red), Nathan, Abby and Haley sitting on the steps. 

We were in the downstairs room.  This kind of reminded me of a Thomas Kinkaid pictures.

Vacation - Part 2

We toured at 17th Century Castle.  It was amazing!

It was Graduation weekend at the local University, so a ton of Graduates were at the Castle taking pictures.  All the Graduates wanted a picture with our kids.  Haley and Abby were the most willing to take pictures with complete strangers.

The Italians used this Castle as a military post in WW2.  The roof was bombed out at that time.

Vacation - Part 1

We took a week long vacation and traveled to the Northern Part of Ethiopia.  It was so much fun !!  Here are some of the things we saw:

Audrey found this HUGE moth

We saw Baboons on the side of the road 

We drove through this beautiful canyon 

I liked this orange tree 

I liked this sign.  If you notice the road, it's not really uphill at this point 

Beautiful farmland 

I liked this rock formation 

The twins got to ride a horse (Haley in pink) 

I LOVE this man!! 

This guy was walking along the road 

I liked how tall this truck was loaded
