Weekend fun at AISB Picnic and Nagykovacsi Park

Glenn, Parker and Lindsey at AISB

Lindsey showing me her hotdog
I think this was her first American-style hotdog.

Parker and LRae posing in front of Sparky, the school mascot. They are the Blazers.

Lindsey and Parker on cool playground contraption - cross between a see-saw and a merry-go-round. Though you will notice not much escapes the spray paint artists, even children's playground equipment in the rural area outside Budapest.

Lindsey loving the ride

Parker teaching Lindsey how to launch airplane with slingshot.
He had the greatest time sending her on recon missions to bring it back, calling her "Goose" and humming Top Gun and Darth Vader tunes. Of course, she thought it was grand fun! Playing with Parker all afternoon and actually getting to TOUCH his airplane....it just doesn't get much better than that.

August highlights

So long to August and Summer 2009 -- it was a good one! Parker rejoined the family after a fun time at Camp California, we had a very short trip to Croatia and a long weekend trip to Bratislava and Prague, Parker started 4th grade and Lindsey discovered her first freckle. I'm glad that Parker and Lindsey got to spend so much fun time together this summer on their adventures with Ms. Andrea and also playing at home. We are really lucky that they get along so well and enjoy spending time together. She is his wingman, his "Goose". Parker told us yesterday that he is glad that we do not have a middle child in our family -- why we ask? -- because he imagines the middle child would try to pick on Lindsey and he would have to spend all his time protecting her. So funny!
