Dad+some

We are happy to have Dad back home today...and we also have visitors!! Karen and Doug came to visit and entertain the kids for their days off of school this week!! They did some wandering around White Bear Lake today and came home with a new game! Naughty Naughty.

Checking out the Macedonian candy that dad brought home for the kids.

the end of Macedonia

Definitely a quick trip considering the travel time...but he is going to pull an all nighter tonight before flying home early in the morning. A few more pics...

More stray pups 

 Food for days.

 Pretty beautiful place

 Seems like liquor for days too.

Even got a pic of my hubby with the sights.  

more Macedonia and the pumpkin patch

Just another day in Macedonia...being escorted to a meeting with the Prime Minister of Macedonia. Which means a police escort...totally normal.

Lunch with a view. 

 More dogs.

 Tennant representing in Macedonia.

After school the kids and I took our annual trip to the pumpkin farm in Wyoming.  Got to see the animals, run around, play on some hay bales, and take a tractor ride to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. Since it was just me (again) this year; I decided just the kids would get carveable pumpkins; I couldn't carry 4 by myself.

 Can't forget the corn pit...might have had to make Eddie get in for the photo op.

 She is only 9...oh brother!

Sometimes they pretend to like each other. 

Couldn't talk this kid into a smaller pumpkin.  

 

Macedonia

Last night Ed left for Macedonia for work! He flew to Serbia and then to Macedonia. A long flight, or flights. This is the Serbian airport.

Where they got on a puddle jumper to fly to Macedonia.

He sent this picture to show the kids the license plates in Macedonia.

Alexander the Great was very popular there, statues everywhere.

Of course some Macedonian beer...

Even the airport was names after him...

This is where they stayed...a Marriot.

Dinner... 

Lots of wine 

 Stray dogs everywhere...

 His hotel and the statue

Go Pack Go!
