I'm a thief...

There are multiple reasons why we all love having guests come visit.

One of my favorite being that I enjoy seeing Budapest through their eyes, 

especially when one of those eye's is behind a camera lens. 

It's even an added bonus when they are a whizz with that camera 

and capture great photos of this fair city and of my boys that they let

me steal and put on my blog.

Thanks Kimball for coming and for sharing your pics.

My photos from Gellert Hill at sunset NEVER turn out this good.

A different angle of Parliament

The shoe memorial along the Danube

Just some cool guys hanging out on Chain Bridge 

The misters outside Parliament are fun new addition added this spring

Erszebet Lookout tower isn't too far from our house and provides a great view of the city and surrounding villages.

Just a fun inside view of the tower

The walk down from the tower is always easier than the walk up

The great Market Hall or Nagy Csarnok as seen from the top floor.

I spy St. Stephen's Basilica

And there it is!

From the inside looking up

Taking the stairs to the top of the dome is no easy feat.

But the view is worth it.

Castle Hill and Fisherman's Bastion look even cooler when taken by Kimball

A perfectly timed picture of Callan wanting to swing with Mack and I, and getting a little more than he bargained for. 

We had to introduce Kimball to Line Tag at hero square

While no trip is complete to City Park without walking across the "Bridge"

You never know what or who you will find at City Park.

 Pure delight on Callans face!

Another beautiful shot, this time underneath Margit bridge

Callan and I were happy to accompany Kimball to Szencheny baths

There is an actual Michael Jackson memorial tree in Budapest.
I know your impressed.

Just some typical Hungarian fare

WARNING...Lazy Post ahead

In the spirit of efficiency, the following post 

is a brief summary of some of our Spring events.

In no particular order.

March 15th is Hungarian Revolution Day. 

It is kind of a big deal around here, 

so much so, that even Google celebrates it. 

If you feel like a quick read on the subject click here.

Otherwise, know that it is a day of remembrance

and celebration In Hungary complete with festivals and cute

little boys dressed up like soldiers. 

 

Mine clearly have a ways to go with their costumes.

However, they do have the stern face look down perfectly.

Moving on….

Mack got a one on two day and was all smiles.

Proof is in the pudding... this is probably something that should happen a lot more.

We had a fun laser tag day with our good friends the Terpinas family celebrating their son Daniels birthday.

Tried once again to ice skate. Tried being the operative word.

Of course, I turned a year older. Funny how that keeps happening.

Celebrating it again downtown with my sweet friends at the world famous New York Cafe  

A lovely spring afternoon was spent on a 4th grade field trip to Visegrad Castle.

The 2nd grade pod area was transformed into a Bug Motel 

for the School's math night.

Cam and I attended the BMAC (Budapest Military Attache Corp) Gala

 A stolen glance away from the speaker and I get caught... Oops. 

Creed and his wolf den learning how to properly handle the American Flag.

A wrecked car didn't keep us away from getting out and enjoying our fair city this spring.

Thank goodness for great public transportation.

 With all of the exciting things that happened this spring,

it is no wonder why they were so tuckered out.
