Camping-Bled Slovenia

The most important thing about this trip is that we had a GREAT time as a family and with friends!  On Labor day weekend, we headed out early on Saturday morning to get a camping spot big enough to hold 7, yes 7, tents!  There are a few things about European camping that are way different: no open fires, see our make-shift smores pit below, and the bathrooms/showers are immaculate.  There was maid service that cleaned the bathrooms every 2 hours.  It was a little cooler than anticipated, so I lived in my little hoodie for the whole weekend.  Brian said I practically smothered him the second night we were there; I was just trying to stay warm. Kennedy loved putting up the tent, riding her bike, and hanging out with all the grown ups.  She had all the women playing animals with her. 

On Sunday, a few people went whitewater rafting, but most of us went exploring on our own. Brian, Kennedy, and I headed out to Vintgar Gorge.  This is one of the places I researched before heading to Bled, and I knew it'd be beautiful.  Beautiful and amazing it was!  We walked for about 3 miles on little ledges and bridges over rushing water.  At some areas we couldn't even stand up straight.  Kennedy was a trooper and walked pretty much the whole way.  We wanted to explore some other areas around Bled, but Kennedy was exhausted.  When we got back to camp we just hung out and walked around.  It was really great getting to spend time with the other families.  We are hoping to go back one more time before Brian leaves.

Kennedy's new bike

Today was a BIG day for Ms. Kennedy!  Our day began early with an appointment to meet Kennedy's preschool teacher & tour her classroom.  When we got there Kennedy went right in and started playing with the other kids and the teacher's assistant.  Not once did she even look up to see what Brian & I were doing.  We were filling out paperwork which was boring, anyways.   We had to pry her away from the games to show her the things around the room.  I am so nervous about leaving her in a class where she has to learn to be independent....this is one of the class goals. I know all the good things about preschool and I'm ready for her to go, bbbbbuuuuuttttttt  its so hard to see her grow up.  Growing up she is!  At her most recent doctors visit she was 39 1/2" tall and 34.5 lbs. She is becoming stronger and more brilliant everyday. 

Today she decided she would ride a bike.  We have been trying to get her to ride for months with no luck.  We have learned over the past 3 years that Kennedy reaches milestones when she wants to.   Today was the day for bike riding.  At the BX she got on the bike and started pedaling.  Due to my excitement at her riding the bike & a helmet were bought.  Here a few pics of K & her bike.
