Baby Shower!

This Saturday, Brendan's grandma, mom and sister hosted a baby shower for us. The shower was held in Noank, Connecticut, at the house of Grandma Conway. We had great time getting together with everyone, enjoying Becca's bbq, playing bocce, lacrosse, stuffing tissue paper under neat our shirts, chasing Brendan around the back yard, playing with the dog, receiving wonderful gifts from our family and friends... well, take a look at this collection of photos.

Ove Subote, Brendanova baka, mama i sestra su organizirale malu zabavu povodom skorasnjek doceka nase male bebe. U Americi se to zove "baby shower". Baby shower se organizira za roditelje koji bebu ocekuju po prvi put s namjerom da se s njima podijele dobri savjeti i pokloni za novorodjence. Zabava se odrzala u kuci bake Conway u malom gradicu Noank, drzava Connecticut. Mi smo se jako lijepo proveli sa svima, uzivali u Beccinom rostilju, igrali boce, lacross, te naravno, radovali smo se otvaranju predivnih poklona... evo nekoliko slika koje mozda bolje govore kako nam je bilo.

Bass River State Park

Last weekend we went camping with Lauren and Vincent. They found this amazing state park in southern New Jersey, close to the sho(re), called Bass River State Park. We got there pretty late Friday night, stayed throughout Saturday and most of Sunday. Even though the weatherman kept warning us of "damaging winds", thunderstorms and all kinds of disasters, the weather was beautiful. Like those clouds knew that four of us needed a good weekend to relax, enjoy sunshine and freshen up in the lake. ...Oh... and we met this seagal that got his a$$ kicked by a clam!

Prosli vikend smo isli kampirati sa Lauren i Vincent-om. Oni su pronasli odlicni drzavni park u juznom New Jersey-u, blizu obale, koji se zove Bass River Drzavni Park. Tamo smo stigli prilicno kasno u petak navecer, te ostali do Nedjelje. Iako nas je meterolog cijelo vrijeme upozoravao na "orkanske vjetrove", grmljavinu i svakakvo nevrijeme, vrijeme je bilo prelijepo. Kao da su oblaci znali da je nas cetvoro trebalo jedan dobar vikend za relaksiranje, uzivanje u suncu i osvjezavanje u jezeru. ...O... i upoznali smo jednog galeba kojega je dagnja capila!

Our friends, The Galvins!

Our friends from Manchester NH, Alaina, Jeff and little Elsa, came for a weekend long visit. We showed them our town of Hoboken, walked around midtown Manhattan, went to the Yankee's game and finished the weekend with a good meal, beer (for some :) and cheerios (for others) at the Hartland Brewery.

Nasi prijatelji iz Manchestera, drzava New Hampshire, Alaina, Jeff i mala Elsa su nas posjetili tokom vikenda. Pokazali smo im nas gradic Hoboken, prosetali smo se midtownom Manhattana, isli na Yankee utakmicu, te se na kraju pocastili dobrom vecerom, pivicom (za neke) i cheerio pahuljicama (za druge) u Hartland Brewery.

Wine Bottleing

Our friends Lauren and Vincent have invited us to this unforgettable event of wine bottleing. They are part of a group that buys, makes, stores, bottles and drinks their own wine. What an honor!

Nasi prijatelji Lauren i Vincent su nas pozvali da sudjelujemo na nezaboravnom punjenu vina. Oni su dio grupe koja kupuje, pravi, spremi, puni i pije svoje vino. Koja cast!
