Summer Vacation 2014, Austria part 2

This beautiful chapel is in the Catholic Educational Center in Mr. Burli'stown. The priest opted to have the baptism here instead f in the old church. He is very proud of "his" center and it boasts an impressive collectiion of art. Phin was quiet and calm during the whole ceremony, and the priest joked, maybe he will become a priest, too. Then he looked pointedly at me and asked if I would be okay with that. No comment.


The reception was at Karawankenblick, always beautiful.



Mr.Burli's parents' neighbors built this amazing house- a pre-fab construction with a garage and open kitchen. It is very nice inside and out. 
Nearly everyone we visited with a yard has a lawn mowing robot to mow the grass (like a Roomba but bigger).


Unfortunately Oma had a seizure shortly before we arrived, so she was recovering in a nursing home. She seemed in good spirits, however, and she enjoyed our visits.


We visited our friends in Graz and even did a little sight-seeing with the kids,.







We also visited the Aunts.




There are still more pictures to come!

Nice pictures of good visits and a special day! Sammy captured the aunts!
The boys are playing with a toy, not the mower-omba? Good angle to show the tower over the armory courtyard.
Just enjoying your recap... love, momsie

Yes, I thought it was funny that they played "mowing the lawn" even though the robot already had mowed. And the ride-on lawn mower also made an appearance later on when the grass was too high for the robot in the back area.
