Francis’ Kindergarten Treasure Hunt

For Francis’s end-of-kindergarten celebration, our family got to go on a treasure hunt around his school!

The path we took was primarily on the forest path near the school. The kids hike/explore this path for “Waldtag” every Thursday (instead of being in the classroom!) - so they were pros at guiding us up & into the woods to find the final treasure :)

Assisi - Summer 2021

After five days in Rome, we were able to spend several wonderful days in Assisi!

Enjoy some pictures from our trip!

Our Lady of Angels - which houses the Portiuncula:







Upper Assisi





View from our hotel window







Mass at the Tomb of St. Francis in St. Francis Basilica 





Blessed Carlo Acutis’s tomb











Basilica of St. Chiara (Clare) 



























Our last morning in Assisi, on the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, Brian and Isaac went with the students on a walking tour — and while Clare napped I took some time for myself starting in Gran Café :)









St. Peter’s Abbey - where Servant of God Chiara and her husband Enrico Petrillo were married





















We trained back to Rome, went out to a lovely dinner of seafood by the Port, and flew home the next day! 🇮🇹 🇦🇹
