B's Agenda

I make an Agenda every morning to let my kids know what we're doing that day. One day my brightest little boy made one for me. He even put a resting time for me after the kids go home.

Adventure to Tulln

Whitney and I decided we'd take a day and get out of the city. The destination: Klosterneuburg, a town right outside the city that would be fun to walk around for a day. We rushed out of the house to catch 2 u-bahns only to misread which regional train to take and then wait another 20 minutes.

Once we got on the "right" train, we settled in for a short ride. But by the time the ticket checker came by we'd already passed our stop. We'd unintentionally gotten on a train that was going directly to Tulln. The checker guy just chuckled and told us to get tickets in Tulln to return. Oops. Since we'd landed in Tulln we decided to spend the day there instead.

We walked around the small town.

Stopped for lunch at an outdoor cafe.

Sat a while by the Donau.

Had some great gelato and headed back home.

Not bad for a cloudy day outside of Vienna.

Journal Entry

I asked my kids to writing about the Spring Concert a couple of weeks ago. I loved Toni's music notes.

Bits and Pieces of the City

Check out this face

I took the pictures because of the cute shirt, but the face on this kid is almost better.

It says: No kissing! I am not a prince.

Zoo Trip

Vienna has an amazing zoo and under the leadership of Miss Brunker we headed there on Friday.

First, a long U-bahn ride.

Then a detour through the Palace grounds.

Waiting for our tickets.

Finally, inside the park. First things first: Lunch.

Then onto the animals.

An exhausting, but fun trip.

Music Recital

Last Wednesday was our school wide music recital. We had a bunch of pianists, violinists, guitarists and one sax. Here are my two girls performing.

And then, possibly the cutest thing I've ever seen. A little first grader playing the cello. She had the continuing part in Pachelbel's Canon...so cute!
