Bike Rides and Sugar

 We rented another bike last week, this time with a seat for Gabriella. She is in love with the bike, every time we leave the house she wants to go on the bike. Here are a couple pictures of her royal cuteness in her new favorite seat.

The weather has been so cold recently, we've had to come up with things to do inside. One night we took Gabriella out to a local bakery for some dessert. She loved the "pink chairs" she kept saying "sit here mama and dada" 

A few nights later we took her out to pick out her own candy. She was enjoying it so much, I couldn't get her to look at the camera.

Bowling

Over the weekend, we went bowling for the first time in years, yet alone the first time in France! Gabriella went crazy over it, she thought it was the best thing ever. We had a blast and since Gabi did too I think we'll have to go again soon. (And if you're wondering, it's exactly the same as bowling in the States.)

Flower Cuteness

I think Gabriella is finally feeling a lot better, because yesterday she wanted to dress up and take pictures. Trevor brought home Valentine Day's flowers for me and Gabriella thought they were for her, so she just had to have her picture taken with one.

I love how everything comes wrapped up like a present here.

I think they turned out so cute, especially for a spur of the moment photo shoot. The weather has been so nice here this week, so we've been busy play outside. Gabriella say "play outside" as soon as she gets dressed in the morning. She is talking all the time now. My favorite words she says are: "momonk" for monkey and mittens. She's also learned to say "I cold" anytime she gets the slightest chill. Good thing spring is coming soon!

Final Chapter- Gabi's Day

Gabi was such a good traveler for this trip, we decided that the last day in Prague needed to be her day; and since she is pretty much obsessed with animals right now,  we knew we had to take her to the zoo. She absolutely loved every second of it! Here are a few pictures of our day:

Waiting for the underground train

Checking out the chimps

The tigers were her favorite. 

The Prague Zoo was amazing! One of the best zoos (sp) I've been to.

Trevor kept following the signs to the Dum, and we finally found it.

Up close and personal to the Dum

Loving the zoo!!!  Or is that because she just had a Czech Hot Dog. Can you say "yummy!"

This was a site for sore eyes. I think I almost cried when I saw it! The United States of America Embasy.

On the river looking back at the Charles Bridge and the castle.

Charles Bridge

Our Little Shopper.  She had to get new shoes.  "Check out my new boots" Gabriella loves to shop, but she loves to pose for pictures after she gets something new.  

More Shopping:  "I think I need some jewelry to go with my new boots"  Dad is in big trouble.  Look at all of her accessories.

Now on to toy shopping.  I swear we did more than shop, but it was Gabriella's day!

This was our hotel room.  It was in a perfect location.  The castle was only a couple of block away, the Charles bridge to old town was right out our door, and the best was the McDonalds across the street. Diet Coke never tasted so good!  

Prague Part 2

We absolutely loved Prague, I would go back in a heartbeat. I think we may have taken a few too many pictures, but here are a few more from the 2nd day of our trip. 

The city itself was so beautiful, and the Czech people were also wonderful.

These pictures were taken from the top of one of the towers on the Charles bridge.

Gabriella thought the walk we took by the bridge was the perfect place to pose for pictures.

 These next few pictures were taken on our underground tour. It was so interesting to learn more about Czech history. 

 We had dinner at a traditional Czech restaurant,  Trevor got the pork knuckle and loved it.

I had beef goulash with bread dumplings, it was mmm good.

 And for dessert, we shared the apple strudel, which was Gabriella's favorite.
