Saturday, July 14th

Today we went for a hike with some friends. One of the guys Chris works with, bought a little grill you can hike with and bought us a bunch a food and we went for a short hike and then grilled out. It was so nice of Bernd, Chris' friend. He did everything from buying the food to grilling it and serving us. We had a great time and Reed decided he loved being on Chris' shoulders. He kept trying to look around so he could see Chris' face and then he'd laugh. What a weird little kid.

Birthday Celebration

To top off Papa and Nana's visit, we celebrated Reed's birthday. Of course they wanted to celebrate while they were here and it was only ten days early. Reed wasn't too fond of the cake, but then we all tasted it and ended up throwing the whole cake away. Reed's favorite toy was the balloons. We would nail him in the head with one and he would laugh hysterically....only a Sielatycki.

Birthday celebration

Heerbrugg

After we got back from Italy we bummed around town, did some more shopping and also did some hiking and lots of walking. I think Mom and Dad really liked our little town we live in.

Bellagio, Italy with us

After four days in Rome, we took the train to Bellagio, Italy to meet up with my parents and Reed for two days. It is by far the most beautiful place I have ever seen and would like to go back someday.

Bellagio, Italy

While Chris and I were in Rome, my parents spent a couple of days at our house and then took Reed to Bellagio, Italy. They were there two days before we got there and these are the pictures that they took while we were still in Rome. Somehow, one of the pictures of us snuck in there.

Rome!

Mom and Dad offered to babysit for a few nights so we took off and went to Rome for our anniversary. We saw all the basic sights including the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, Trevi Fountain and the Colosseum. We ate out, drank lots of good wine and did a little shopping. We had a great time and it will be an unforgettable 3rd anniversary.

Rome

Papa & Nana arrive!

My parents came to visit and we had a great time. These first few pictures are of Mom and Dad traveling to Heerbrugg and all the different modes of transportation and the first few days we just bummed around, did some shopping and just rested up. We also went to Bregenz, Austria. We saw the theater on the lake and did a little shopping. The next day we left for Rome and Papa & Nana took some pictures. They must have gone hiking, did some shopping and just took a lot of pictures. Hope you like.....
