On the 24th of September we flew into Dubrovnik, Croatia. We were supposed to meet our grandparents, Mimi and Poppy, but their flight got cancelled so we met them two days later in Split. Dubrovnik was really cool but it was super crowded by Americans. When we got to Split our Mimi and Poppy were there waiting for us. It was funny because we were planing to do that to them. After Split we took a ferry to the island of Vis. In Vis we celebrated Decker’s birthday and wow did he get a lot of presents. I made him a card with a picture of Rex, his favorite clone. After Vis we went to Plitvice. We did this cool lake hike that was really pretty. After that we went to Zagreb and went to a cool Nikola Tesla museum. Hanging out with Mimi and Poppy was so much fun. Mimi took me shopping and it was really fun. On the 4th the grandparents left. 😦

After that we went to Maribor, Slovenia and saw the Smalls again. We drove to the Mur river and floated it with Balkan River Defence. They are an organization that floats rivers in the Balkans to protest against dams. By the time we finished it was dark. We watched this amazing video they had made and then listened to a live rock band. Me and my dad got some t-shirts. The next day we went to Tara’s 5th birthday party. Tanja made this awesome cake and we hung out for awile.
