Last Saturday we took a drive up to see Mt. Etna. For those of you that don't know, my little guy Isaac has some speech issues. Not everything comes out how it is supposed to, but sounds really cute. The entire way there he talked about Mounk Enka. We heard it over, and over, and over again. Jacob was our geologist on the trip. Apparently they have talked a lot about the different eruptions that have occurred in the recent past at school in his Host Nation class and he told us all about them as we hiked through some of the craters in the lava. He is excited for Dad to get back so we can show him the craters. Caitlyn was our resident flirt. Our friends the Greathouses came with us and she has a thing for Mr. Chip. I somehow don't think that she needed to fall quite as many times as she did. :) I'm not looking forward to the teenage years!

This looks like an awesome place. In the 4th picture what are you standing next to?
It is a house that got buried by the lava flow from an eruption. It was really kind of creepy to walk around on piles of lava rock. We only live about 45 min away. Everyone keeps saying that it isn't an "explosive" volcano (so lava just comes out slowly and covers your house). Is that supposed to make me feel safer? The sarcasm in my voice is totally lost. :)It keeps steaming, so hopefully it will stay quiet while we are here.
I wish we were there! Wow...all of your pictures of the family and you are so awesome! I'm with you on the volcano. Nice place to visit...
