On Sunday August 16th the much anticipated arrival of Natalie and JJ really happened!
We took them from the airport to our apartment for a quick change and then to church so we could show them off!
Next day we started our Prague tour......
at St. Vitus Cathedral next to Prague Castle
Along the Vltava River
Peter- Paul Cathedral at Vysehrad Fort
and of course because we are Robbins we had to have our ice cream!
At the outdoor market (aren't they adorable?)
The back- packing adventurers ready for the 2nd half of their adventure.
On the metro.
The big ole train that took them away. I felt just like Uncle Albert on Mary Poppins. " People come and we have such a lovely time and then they have to go and I'm so sad!" Yes we were so sad to have them leave, but it was such a wonderful visit for us. They also helped us out with Family Home Evening by giving the spiritual thought on eternal marriage. So good for our kids to see and hear about the importance and blessing of marriage in the temple.
The week before Natalie and JJ came was transfer week and we were again involved in the feeding and training of 7 new missionaries and the feeding and saying good-bye to 9. After all the activities the mission president took us and the office staff out for dinner along the river.

I'm so jealous- what's it like to be rich traveling newlyweds?!
ReplyDeleteLucky Bro & Sis Robbins that get to see their darling children fro the far far of USA. What a wonderful experience. Now to just get your others over there. Wouldn't that be nice?
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous too. Looks like you all had a great time and I bet the best part for J.J. was being able to wear his "man-pris" without any ridicule.
ReplyDeleteoh Missy- again you are so funny! I didn't even notice JJ and his manpris until you made that comment. JJ- next fast sunday- wear them- they're awesome!
ReplyDeleteFun! I am super jealous of the whole trip, but especially all the ice cream that Natalie and JJ have been blessed to partake of. gourmet ice cream at that!
ReplyDeleteWe missed all of you at the Paulsen Family Reunion. But, were so happy that Natalie and JJ could visit you. Next year hopefully we'll all be together! I'm still not use to this life without children.... Love ya both!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for that trip! Thanks for hosting us and showing us the ropes of Prague. We're sure proud of you. All you do....and all you think you do. :) Love you guys!
