Gone Fishing

One of Daddy's best memories of being at the sea when he little was doing some fishing. So I wanted to do it too.

There were lots of fish to be caught.

We rigged a hook with some bread and cast our line.

I felt like I had a big one ready to reel in so I asked Daddy to help me out.

This fish may look little but it put up a big fight. He was too little to keep so we released him back into the water. In a few years when we go back, he'll be bigger and I'll catch him again.

Lost at Sea

After a few days in Sarajevo we packed up our stuff and headed to Makarska, Croatia to relax and swim. To learn more click the link.

Laila really loved the salt water. If she had room in her belly she would have drank it all.

After lots of time playing the water it was time for Laila to just kick back, relax and get some sun.

Lots of Love in this picture.

Can you guess which toes are Laila's? Which ones are Baba J's and which ones are Mommy's?

Lost at Sea 2

We spent 5 days at this beautiful beach. I played in the water every day from morning until night.

Laila doing some laps with help from Mommy.

Ahh..the sea monster is going to get me. I better run away.

He got me. Thankfully it was only Daddy.

and all he wanted to do was take me for a ride on his floaty mattress.

19 Months

Somebody is 19 months old today. Can you guess who?

 It's Laila.

 Just chilling at the beach.

What a doll face.

It's a flag waving 19 month B-day celebration. We love you Laila.

Birds

One thing Daddy remembers doing in Sarajevo when he was a little boy was feeding the pigeons so we went to do that.

It was really fun. There were 100's of them and they would go crazy when I threw feed in the air.

 Laila had a good time too.

This is Daddy feeding one right out of his hand.

The guy selling food for the pigeons made a small fortune when I was there.

Yummy!!

We were hungry so we went out to eat. I couldn't read the menu so I just ordered what was at the top.

Turns out I ordered a very traditional Bosnian dish called cevapi. People eat this for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner.

They were really good. Check out the link to learn more about them.

Soccer game

The day after we landed, Dedo took us to a soccer game. His favourite team is Zeljo and that's who we watched.

Can you guess who wasn't ready for this picture to be taken?

Dedo used to play for Zeljo when he was younger. You can learn more about this team by clicking the link.

A half time photo op with Daddy.

That red stuff are flares being lit by some Zeljo fans. What a fun time. Zeljo won the game 2-0.

Family Trip

As you know we like to travel. This trip required 3 plane rides to get where we wanted to go.

Here's Daddy helping Laila get settled in for her very first plane ride. First stop Washington.

As we made our way through the airport we were stunned to see Obama. He was nice enough to stop what he was doing and take a picture with Mommy. Obama wanted to keep talking but we had to catch our next flight. Next stop Munich, Germany.

That was a really long plane ride. We were all really hungry. Luckily Daddy packed enough food to feed a small army.

Just waiting to catch our last plane.  Final destination Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina. To learn more about where we went just click the link below.
