A Break in Prague

In September (2011), we had a the chance for a "second honeymoon."  While Morgan spent a week at Grandma and PopPop's house in Carilise, PA, Mommy and Daddy took a trip to Prague.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the amazing city, eating some great food (and beer), a day trip visiting nearby castles, an afternoon in Kunta Hora, and just relaxing together.  Since this is Morgan's blog (technically), here are just a few to share with everyone.

Summer (2011)

After a really crazy spring...the summer seemed to go at a relatively slower pace. We had a regular routine of spending at least one weeknight at the local pool (much less crowded than the weekends), Tuesday attending concert in the park (Morgan had a great time dancing to all the music), and Thursday at Lake Nockamixon on the sailboat (Daddy's favorite time of the week). We also spent a lot of time in our own raised garden (which produced quite the crop for its size...squash, zucchini, eggplant, peppers - red/green/hot, peas, spinach, carrots, berries, and herbs).



We also experimented with eating almost exclusively farm raised foods...particularly from our favorite farmer at the Lansdale Farmer's Market (Matt from Willow Springs Farms), the organic Longview Market and two delicious dairies Merry Mead and Freddy Hill.

This is how we passed most of the summer...it was really nice.

We also had a few events thrown in, including Wendy's wedding in July, Pop-Pop's birthday party in Aug, and the big finale of the summer...our Brown family vacation in Williamsburg (we braved the Hurrican Irene aftermath and drove down to the resort which still did not have power; on the plus side there weren't many crowds at the park).

Spring

It was a busy spring, but a fun one too.

In May, we had Olivia's Christening and Mommy's good friend Angie's wedding (at which Morgan had a great time dancing the night away with our friends Sujata/Andrew's boys Kai and Keyton).

In June, we went to Sesame Street Place for the first time and saw Dan Zanes (our favorite musician) in concert at the park! What a special treat! Morgan loved dancing to the music and meeting him afterwards to get an autograph. We also enjoyed the rides, including a few runs on the Grover Coaster.

Morgan and Mommy went to a bridal shower for another of Mommy's good friends, Wendy...her wedding will be in July (the new hubby is shown above with Morgan and Angie's wedding). Mommy and Daddy will head to that one by themselves and Morgan is going to Jack's house for a sleepover.

Throughout it all we also had a number of B-day parties (Emma, Kyran, Spencer, Wesley, Sophia, Lily, Abigale) and a college graduation party.

If you can believe it, we also found some time to get a great start on our landscaping. The house is looking really great! What a spring! Now we need some downtime and a little R&R this summer. :)
