Highlight Pictures of Turkey - April 2011










We took a family trip to Turkey and had a great time. We met up with our friend Eric and outnumbered Alexa 3 to 1!! It was a great trip. Three hours by plane and Alexa was a gem for most of it. We even got a babysitter through the hotel so we had two nights out! We hit the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Cisterns, a night cruise, the Grand Bazaar, The Spice Bazaar, Dolmabache Palace, Topkapi, Palace. Here are some highlight pictures!

Hagia Sophia was created in 320 and served as the cathedral of constantinople. It was full of mosiacs that impressed even Alexa

Alexa is learning history from the audio tour! But as exciting as Turkey and the Blue Mosque is, she still gets tired!

Bonfire#2 - March 2011

About 5 mintues up the hill from our house is a fire pit perfect for a bonfire party! Jon even built a pong table!


Alexa and her friend watched a movie on the ipad!

A cute picture with a Friend!


Alexa isn't around babys much so it was really cute to see how well she behaved and how much she shared. In this picture you can see she shared her dirty shoes. : )
