Above is Sophie and Ocean Sunday at Ada Ciganlija. Sophie and her sister Eve are daughters of my friend and colleague Tim. They both love watching and playing with Ocean and it has been really nice to spend time with them because of this. Ocean loves the attention and it gives Nadia and I a break!

It was very hot this weekend and to beat the heat we headed to my favorite place in Belgrade. I call it “Sport Island” because it really has every sport imaginable there. It is like a northern Michigan lake, but with lots of cool stuff next to it. There is a strip restaurants, coffee places, etc. next to the water. Behind this there is a bike trail that goes around the entire island. On the island there is a golf course, baseball diamond, rugby field, clay and hard court tennis, multiple soccer fields (mini soccer, artificial turf, etc.) paint ball arena, beach and regular volleyball courts, etc. Sunday we weren’t allowed in the water at first because they were holding the student rowing championships. The kids loved to see all the different countries flags and uniforms.

This week is tough due to two Open Houses (middle school and high school), a senior university night, plus a PTA wine and cheese. I have to attend all of them. We had the first day of girls’ soccer practice and it went well. I am the girls’ middle school coach. Owen came along and was the ball boy/manager and loved it.

That is it for now, very tired…
