On Wednesday, we woke up late. Well everyone except for Aaron since he had to work. We had a long, fun night wine tasting the night before, so we needed to take it easy. We met Aaron at his work for lunch and then came back home so Connor could take his usual nap. When Aaron got home that afternoon, we drove to downtown Padova {aka Padua}. Instead of taking Chrissy and Ryan to downtown Vicenza, we took them to Padova since our town is a commune of it. It was Aaron's and my first time going, and I am so glad we went because it was beautiful. Later we found out that we didn't even see some of the main attractions.
Our crew.
Chrissy and I were obsessed with these doors.
The guys are hilarious.
Connor takes after his daddy in the pictures of him above.

Silly little guy!
Left: There were lots of high end shops. Right: We saw several buildings with this street art.
After walking around for a couple hours and having a drink, we were ready to go home. We stopped by a bar on our way to the car to ask for directions to the nearest grocery store {Chrissy and Ryan wanted to make dinner at home}. Turns out everything was already closed, but they let us have a can of tomato sauce from their pantry to make our own pasta sauce {what we needed from the grocery store in the first place}. As we were about to leave, we noticed they had a small section of homemade, dried pasta for sale. We bought some wheat spaghetti {that ended up tasting delish} and then came home.

Cooking dinner.
The next day, we went shopping in the morning. Since we were going to the river that evening, I took them to a sports store to get some stuff. I had a few things I needed to buy and so did they. They were so happy I took them and we ended up spending at least an hour there.
Aaron got off from work a little early and met us at the house. We packed up the car and got to the river by 5:30. It was already shaded in our area, and the water was pretty cold. The guys liked it, but Chrissy and I stayed out of it.

Connor looked super cute with his new swim shirt, vest, and water shoes.
Just exploring.
Ryan found a frog in a tree on the other side of the river. Connor was amazed by it.
We played with him for a little while before letting him go.
Bye froggy!
Kylie and Pearl taking a break.
There were so many bugs out, so Aaron and Ryan gathered sticks to start a fire. Some people on the other side of the river started one, so they let us use their lighter to start ours.
Y'all make a good team!
Connor was amazed by it.
This guy flew right above is.
Having a talk with his sister.
Right before we went home.
I took Chrissy and Ryan to the airport early the next morning. We had so much fun with them, and can't wait for them to come visit again {hopefully in the winter}. Next time we are planning on going skiing and camping :)
