Dřevo a Dřevo a Vic Dřevo

Today we went back to the rectory to do some more volunteer work.

Our mission, should we choose to accept it...to stack some wood

our first pile of wood

Anni & Seb working together so nicely

Luke cutting down the boards that are too long

Tobiah helping out

and Gabriella too, even though she only has one good arm

and semi-neatly stacked over here

onto our second pile of wood

After all that hard work I had to reward the kids with something they have been wanting to do for a long, long time...go to a monster truck show!  And there just happened to be one in Zamberk this evening, so we went over to take a look.

It was advertised as a monster truck show, but it was really more of a stunt show.  The kids still enjoyed it though.

Here are some of our favorite "stunts"

trying to shake off the passenger

man riding on top of car through fire

on two wheels

finally the monster trucks make an appearance

One again going to an event like this in the Czech Republic is such a unique experience for us overly protected Americans.  We were right up there in the front row just 2 feet from the cars going past us at some points.  It was just like the circus we went to years back.  If we had wanted to we could have reached our hands out and touched the animals as they performed in front of us.  If we had stood up our head would have been knocked off by the acrobats swinging overhead.  It is definitely a "take responsibility for your personal safety" type of mindset here!
