During the visit to Belize, we have taken Carlos's snorkeling tour of Barrier reef. These are some pictures from that trip.

Nutella pizza for desert
Gialina Pizzeria in Glen Park and nutella desert pizza. The rest is history;-)
Iowa Reunion in California
Last Sunday Nenad came to visit from Texas. And after many years of not seeing each other it was nice seeing him. On top of that Natasa also moved from Florida to California so we live not very far from each other.
We spend a great afternoon together in the company of Branka, Goca, John, Nikola, and Sasa.

Long awaited update
Hi all,
last few months has been pretty busy. Many of you have asked about Dragana's recovery. She fully recovered from her procedure and is good as new;-) Doctor said that she should lose few pounds (as well as I) and that is about it. Apart from annual control, no further treatment is necessary.
My mom was here until mid May. As spring came the yard work crept up on us. Luckily, my mom is born with a green thumb so everything was fine while she was here. After she left, some plants have left this world.
We have also visited the Filoli Estate that was portrayed as Blake Carrington's mansion on soap opera Dynasty. The estate itself if gorgeous and has sixteen-acre formal garden, but also plenty of walkways in the woods. Despite the fact that it is associated with soap opera, it is definitely worth seeing.
In the meantime, boys have been boys. Petar open up swim season in late April by falling in Ada's and Tara's swimming pool. He was not too happy with the event. Luka decided to make Petar feel better so he jumped as well.
The summer went very fast. We did not have any BIG vacations but managed to squeeze in few smaller ones. During the 4th of July break, wee went to visit Vanda, Steve, and Nina in Richland, Washington. It was nice to see them after more than 2 years, but temperatures above 110ºF (43ºC) made long to come back to Pacifica (and our 58 to 68ºF temperature range).
Also we have visited Maja and Joel in San Luis Obispo over the Labor Day weekend. That was nice trip too that boys thoroughly enjoyed. They loved playing with Lola (4 month old Labrador puppy). Although after getting a small scratch from her, Petar declared - Lola has very sharp teeth;-)
Petar's birthday was today and we had a party yesterday at Limos Farm. I am going to post the photos next weeks from the event at our website.
Until next time, be good, and don't do anything I wouldn't;-)
