Balaton

Like last year, we were blessed to have a lake cottage at our disposal for a week. Lake Balaton is an enormous lake (the largest in Europe, I think) perfect for families to enjoy the water and sun. Here are a few pics from the week:

Oliver dancing in the sun

Benjamin hanging out with the wildlife.

Besides swimming, we rode our bikes,

played in the playground,

and I'm still not sure what else.

We did have a surprise on Friday. We were able to see the Budapest Gospel Choir in concert in the neighboring village as apart of their "village days." It was great to see them perform outside with lots of people watching. It was especially fun for Oliver who got to bang on the drums a little after the show. Thanks Marci!

After Balaton, we did spend 5 days with Melinda's family in another resort village. But you'll have to wait until we get some pictures from Péter, Melinda's brother, because we didn't take any!

We are home now, but just for enough time to wash our clothes. We will be off again on Monday to our church's family conference in a village called Vajta. We'll be back on Aug 11.

Blessings! ~matthew
