Polska!

So here are quite a few pictures from the trip so far.  Sorry there are so many pictures of buildings...there isn't much to look at here.  Also, despite what you may think I have not photoshopped the grey sky into every picture, or the old Polish people, those two things are hard to get out of the pictures.

Our two days in Warsaw were foggy, cold, sometimes rainy and windy.  So, real nice by Polish standards.  We put in 8 miles of walking on Sunday and got to see plenty of Warsaw.  It's a good sized city (2.5 mil), so it was busy, lots of stores, lots of people etc.  Almost everyone speaks English, so it's been easy to get by.  We had some amazing meals in Warsaw, from small restaurants to sidewalk vendors selling Kielbasa, it's been the highlight of the trip.

As for Lodz, the cloud cover finally broke for a bit this morning and tomorrow should be sunny as well.  Haven't seen too much of the city yet, but will try to get to it tomorrow.

Leaf Pile Time!

After seeing all the leaves falling by us lately, Jenna asked for a leaf pile.  She doesn't miss much.  And now that it was finally dry enough outside she got her wish.

CAAANDY!!!

Tonight the Bumble Bee, Lady Bug and the Owl hit the town in search of treats.  The neighborhood Trick or Treating was tonight, finally giving Jenna a chance to wear her awesome owl costume that she's been talking about for 2 weeks.

After coming back home and having some dinner it was on to pumpkin carving.  Jenna didn't seem to care for my method of carving (power tools), or getting her hands dirty with pumpkin guts but she still managed to have some fun.  Elsa and Nora did a great job doing most of their carvings (theirs are the two bottom ones).  Now it's time to hide the candy in case Elwood gets motivated to use his legs one last time to jump up to the counter top.
