More Spring Break Fun




We took a trip to the MEGA Mall during the school break. Emily only went because she wanted to find a necklace for prom since all her jewelry was stolen on our Feb. trip. Rachel of course was much more enthused about it but all in all the trip was a dud since we didn't buy anything for either girl. I on the other hand had a nice visit to Ikea and got some helpful household things. We did lose our driver Yurii for a while but as you can see from these pictures it was a very lovely day to wait outside to be found. Since he does not speak much more English than we speak Russian the phone call to hook up with him was not too effective so it took a while to get hold of someone at the office to translate where we were for him. Another adventure. We also have found a question game we kind of like playing so we sat outside one night, as the weather was lovely,and where Dad could not hear his phone for a minute and chatted about If ... and What is your... questions. Here are a couple of them - guess which answer is whose.

1. If there were only 3 things in the world to eat, what would you want them to be?

*strawberries, ramen, roast

* mm, apples, hamburgers

*popcorn, melon,spaghetti

*pasta, green salad, chicken

2. If you were really good at something what would it be.

* golf

* photography

* singing

* math

3. What animal are you most like?

* Hippo

* cheetah

*cuddly bear

* giraffe

Haha, that's a fun game. Looks like you guys had a nice spring break! It looks like the weather was warmer there in Moscow than here in Mississippi. We have been freezing here lately!

Well you did pretty well but missed a couple. The photography was Rae and the Math was Ems and the hippo was me and the bear was Dad but he really said a grizzly fierce bear he reminded me.

I did not say "cuddly bear." I said "big, lumbering grizzly bear--friendly until you threaten my family."
