In July, our family spent 2 weeks in beautiful Italy! Here is the villa that we stayed at in Lucca, Tuscany. We were a little worried about Kate in Europe but she did great! She actually started walking for the first time on July 19th while in Italy, 10 days before her 1st birthday!
Here is the family in Florence.
Kate and Ava were given the most darling matching Italy dresses. So cute!
Here is the gang looking pretty tired, we had just gone and seen "The David", which was pretty amazing (even the boys could appreciate it), as well as the art in the Uffitzi Museum.
This is the beautiful fountain at our villa.
Kate and I swimming in the Mediterranean. This was Kate's first time actually getting in the ocean!
Here is my cutest little niece Ava with Uncle Tom and her dad. Isn't she adorable?
My cute brothers Matt and Joe are the best uncles, they love Kate and are so cute with her! Here is Kate with Uncle Joe...
At the LDS ward in Pisa.
We ate gelato about 4-5 times a day in Italy! It was so yummy! Kate thought so too!
Entrance to our villa...
Hanging out in Lucca, Tuscany...
This was our amazing chef Jean Carlos...his food was the most amazing food we had all ever tasted. He actually has his own cooking show and it's coming to American TV this January!
Kate's first KISS! How romantic!
Sarah and I found this cutest chocolate shop, of course I was in love with it!
Tom hiking the Cinque Terra. This hike is probably our favorite thing to do in Italy (besides eating of course)! It is a 5 mile hike along the Mediterranean coast. Within the 5 miles, you go through 4 charming Italian towns. This was Tom's third time doing the hike, and my second time. This was the highlight of our Italy trip that Tom and I took 3 years ago as well. We highly recommend it!
