July has been filled with...................NO SCHOOL !!! We've taken this extra available time to play as a family, do more sports ministry, and schedule playdates with Polish contacts.
Here's Al and Stephen getting ready for a Czestachowa Saints game...........Al coaches and Stephen plays.....
This game was played in Czestachowa which is about 1.5 hours away from Krakow. They had a nice stadium, lots of city support, and fun stuff for the kids too !!! We won, and it was a great day !!!
local American cheering section....
not focused, but a good pic anyway !!!
We've had several playdates this summer...............trying to connect with Polish families. It's amazing to see our kids joke and laugh and solve problems all in Polish...............the whole day.
Family bike ride on a beautiful summer day !!!
At the end of the month, we got to attend AGM (annual general meeting) where we get spiritual encouragement in our heart language, worship corporately with colleagues, hear tons of God-sized stories, and get VBS in English !!! This year it was in Oberwiesenthal, Germany.........the highest peak of Germany !! Beautiful countryside...........with tons of peaceful views !!
One afternoon was reserved for a family day. We spend the afternoon enjoying a picnic lunch on a mountain, rode a gondola, hiked some trails, played mini golf, went swimming, and rode a fun toboggan ride down the mountain. It was a fun afternoon/evening !!!!
fancy lunches with friends
