Lego Flowers

On the weekends Leos and I usually park at Novy Smichov because they have 3 hours of free parking (in the winter its 5 hours).  When we were leaving the mall to walk around, we saw a promo for LEGO and people were making pink roses.  It was a special event for Mother's Day.  There was a line, but it wasn't too long.  I asked a guy working there if it was free and he said yes.  I couldn't believe it!  We decided to wait in line and waited less than 10 minutes until we were able to go inside the area.  It was a bit difficult for Leos and I to make the roses with Amaya with us, but in the end we were able to do so.  I even made Amaya's rose while holding her, but I couldn't finish it properly.  It was such a great event.  The next day, since people mentioned it to others and there was a video promoting it, the line was crazy long before the event even started.  I am so happy that Leos and I just happened to come across the event and didn't search for it.

Prokopské údolí

For part of Leos's friend's bachelor party on May 1st, they guys went on a nice nature walk.  Leos found the hike to be very family friendly that he took Amaya and I on the same hike two days later. The weather was really nice and it was a great day for a walk in nature.  Along the way we found an area where there were some goats, so we fed them. When we walked by one building, I realized that I had done the same walk 7-8 years ago!!  But of course we did the walk a bit different this time because of the stroller. We went to a little park where Amaya had some fun.  Then we went for lunch at a really great place.  It was good we went early because it filled up quite quickly. The place even had some baby goats at one end of the restaurant.  The food was great and it was a nice bonus to the walk.   Since it was so hot, we decided to take Amaya to a chlorine pool.  It was her first time in a chlorine pool and she really enjoyed it!










                                            this is when I realized I had done the same walk







                                                           finished the day off in the pool

Peacocks 2

In the morning I went to check out a new bagel place in Prague, Bejgel.  The pastrami sandwich was really good, but quite pricey.  Luckily I have an app where I can get a lot of items 1+1, so that was the case with the bagels.  I will happily return to the place, but only when I have the discount. I met with another friend and her baby and she suggested we go to Wallenstein Garden.   They also have peacocks, but it is a lot more touristy plus they have an albino peacock. We wanted the girls to crawl around in the grass, but a security guard told us that the girls couldn't crawl around.  We were quite surprised because it wasn't in the main area. We were by the trees and off to the side, but we still had to get our girls off of the ground. So for the second day in a row, I went back to the other peacock park. Amaya was happy and the girls were able to crawl around wherever they wanted to.  It was a nice day!

Peacocks

I met a friend for lunch and she suggested we go to a park with a lot of peacocks.  I used to go to the park a lot before Amaya was born, but hadn't since I gave birth to her last year. Amaya LOVED the peacocks. She made a cute noise anytime she saw them.  It was such a beautiful spring day!
