Well, we completed another hike up Smarna Gora (669 m). Not only did we make it to the top for donuts, we got there by hiking the path of Jesus, Mary and The Turks while surviving a killer thunderstorm! All in a days work here in Slovenia. Kali hiked by herself, with the help of her hiking poles and Peyton rode most of the way up on Jimmy or Dave's shoulders. The only problem was the mud. By the time we finished the hike my kids were a filthy mess. When it was time to get dressed and go to church I realized just how dirty they were and just couldn't bring myself to throw a dress over the caked on dirt and take them to mass. We didn't have time to go home and clean up, so we just went to get a drink with our friends and let the kids play some more and get even dirtier. Drinks turned into dinner, as it usually does here, and Jimmy barely made it to practice at 7:30. When we finally got home, I hosed the children down and they fell into bed. I'm hoping that the candles we lit at the Church of the Holy Mother (on top of the mountain) along with the prayers that go with said lit candles are enough to keep us in His Grace this week.
