Portugal Part 4


Here we are in the heart of Lisbon. I absolutely love this beautiful city and all it has to offer.The shops and restaurants are to die for and the architecture is simply breath taking! Oli really LOVED Lisbon.







Dad wanted Oli and Spencer to see most of Lisbon in the short time allotted that we had throughout our day. 
To do this, we took a double-decker bus to experience and see all of Lisbon.




I love the architecture of this theatre! It is so breath taking.









Here we are riding the famous old rail transits. Ever since I was young I have loved these transits! It is a wonderful way to travel from store to store or to get to another place across the city.







Portugal was playing Norway in football (soccer) the day we were in Lisbon. 
Here the Norwegians are awaiting the game. Go Portugal! :)


Swimming in aunt Carla's pool! Her house is seriously so beautiful! I love it!

Watching the Torro trying to get the bull. Unlike Spain, Portugal does not kill the bull. This is something that I would watch with my grandpa since I was little. It is one of my most fond memories I have with spending time with grandpa.
Going to a little fair that Oeiras had one night! We all had such a blast. I can not say how much I love my family. We always have so much fun when we are together.






I love the purple flowers that are everywhere in the trees and that fall to the pavement. It adds such  beauty to the roads.

My aunts and uncles are always spoiling us. Here they were given Aniston a Scrat balloon from Ice Age.

    2. Yep, we are back in good ol' Utah. I miss Colorado, but it's good to be back. I'd love to get together--we need to plan something! Isn't Jen due any day now? I met Angie's sweet little girl, Aspen. And Danni's got her little guy---so many babies! Let me know if you are coming to the SL area any time soon, and we should try to meet up!

      Nope, no blog for me. I'm a bit behind the times I guess... Hope to see you soon!

    3. There are so many babies! Yeah Jenn's baby is due in June so she will have her little one here in the near future! OK well lets try and meet up here in the near future in Salt Lake. Ols and I really want to go to City Creek so maybe we could make a fun double date out of it! I will call you when we are planning on heading down there and see if you guys would be able to make it :)
