Norway, Land of Fjords & Norwegians




Flat Thalia & Flat Carys have been to Norway! They did lots of hikes and were plenty worn out. They even hiked to Preikestolen which mean's Pulpit's Rock. They each peered over the 600 meter drop to the sea and got a little scared! That's over 6 football fields up in the air!

Prague...Czech out Thalia & Carys


Thalia & Carys loved the Palace in Prague. And below they really enjoyed the nice weather at the Astronomical Clock in Old Town Square.



Here they are goofing around with Uncle Richard at the guard's stand to the palace.



Who doesn't love ice cream on a hot day in Prague?


And I think this was their favorite. The Prague toy museum...so many Barbies!

Blarney Castle

Thalia & Carys joined us on our adventure to Cork & Blarney Castle. It was their first Irish bus ride.


They learned what happened to hungry Irish children who stole bread during the famine.


They were part of dinner in the Witches Kitchen in Blarney.

Then they climbed the 4 stories of narrow staircases to reach the top of Blarney Castle!


At the top Thalia & Carys got to see the Blarney Stone! They say if you kiss it you'll get the gift of gab!

Muchas Gracias!
