Amaya's 1st Birthday!!!!!!

For Amaya's birthday I decided to make her a chocolate cake.  I didn't add any sugar or bananas for sweetness, just applesauce I made prior and it was really nice.  She enjoyed her cake and it was the first time she had something chocolatey. A few days later her grandparents brought a beautiful cake, but she wasn't able to eat it because of all the sugar in it.  Leos and I enjoyed it instead!  On the day of her birthday we were thinking of taking her to the zoo, but instead decided to take a trip to Germany.  We went to Baumwipfelpfad Bavarian Forest.  There was a 44 meter egg shaped tower that had panoramic views and an easy walking path (1,100 meters long). The weather wasn't the best, but it was totally fine because it meant there weren't that many visitors.  At some points during the day we were completely by ourselves in the huge tower.  The treetop walk on the way to the tower was pretty great as well.  It was a great way to be in nature and experience something completely new with her. For dinner we went to a farm restaurant and it was absolutely fantastic.  Amaya wasn't the biggest fan of the waitress,  but the food was great!  It was a nice way to spend her birthday!  Happy 1st birthday Amaya!!

Easter Monday in Trebic

We arrived to Trebic at 10:30am on Easter Monday.  There is a strange Czech tradition where men can whip women with sticks until 12pm to get eggs and liquor.  I really don't like this tradition, so I went for a walk with Amaya.  I made sure to be out until around 12pm.  We walked by a few ponds until we got to a nice view point.  Luckily, I was able to use Google maps to help navigate because I am not too familiar with Trebic. The walk was really nice and it was great way to explore because since I have had Amaya, we don't really do anything besides stay at my in-laws whenever we go to Trebic. I got to the center of town and asked Leos to come pick us up.  My phone was about to die and I didn't want to go the same way back to the house.  When we got to the house, there was a lot of baked goods for Easter.  It was really nice.  Amaya had a great time playing with the dog.  It was a nice few days in Trebic.
