Hradec Králové

Tuesday morning we woke up early and went to Hradec Králové which is about 50 minutes away.  It is the town where Vendula goes to school.  We met her at a shopping mall and then drove to a swimming center.  We had a great time.  There was a really fun wave pool and a water slide.  Gabriella was even able to go with her cast wrapped up in plastic bags.



After swimming we went to the square for lunch

Walking to the square


Rob...we wanted to go up the tower to see the enormous
bell that you saw, but unfortunately it was closed!

Lunch underground
After lunch we walked over to one of Vendula's dance studios to pick up some discount tickets for the place we were headed to later in the day.

At one of the dance studios...can you tell
that is a poster of Vendula behind Sebastian?

Next we went to another dance studio and Annika was able to participate in a Street Dance lesson with some other kids her age.


Vendula had to go to a class for school during this time and after her class the kids went to Tongo with her and I went grocery shopping.  Tongo is an indoor playarea with huge ball pits, trampolines, a giant labyrinth of tunnels, climbing walls, etc...

Cheddar Cheese - a rare find
These tiny 3 slices cost  $1.60.  Can you believe it?
That's $7.56 per pound.  Boy do I miss Wisconsin right now!!!
Woohoo...gas prices were down a little bit today...$7.96 per gallon!!!
After we got home and I got the kids to bed I watched the 3rd Presidential debate.
