Hello everyone. Today was a good day. Our facilitator picked us up about 9:30am. We went to the juvinile authority and picked up the signed & stamped paperwork. Yea !! Then we went to the orphanage. We picked up Natasha & her friend Marina. Went shopping for a shower curtain, because we don't have one here & the water spray's everywhere. The shopping center was nice. It was 4 floors and the top floor had an amusement center where we let the kids play. It reminds me of a Chuck-E-Cheese that we have back at home. The kids could play all kinds of games. Arcade type games. Some of the games gave out tickets & then the girls could pick out a "prize" depending on the number of tickets they had.
Natasha got a bead set with her tickets & Marina got pens & colored pencils. After that it was about 1:00pm & we got some pizza to eat. It was good pizza.
We took the kids back to the orphanage because our facilitator now has to get our paperwork to Kiev and back by Monday. We told Natasha we wouldn't see her until Monday afternoon. :( She wasn't very happy about that. We didn't like it either, but understand what has to be done so we can come back home as soon as possible !!!
Bob & I are basically on our own now until Monday afternoon. We met a few more people here at the University. We found out how to get to an English speaking church tomorrow & also they found us a ride. Nice people here. I guess the service will be part in Russian and part in English. Services here are 2 hours long. It will be interesting to see the difference between this service and our own back home.
Cailin, Kim & Kelly. Are you guys there ?? Are you reading our Blog ?? If you are, make some comments. We love you and miss you all very much.
Shauna, Uncle Bob told me about your ice cream cake. He said he even had fun with you. LOL. Glad you enjoyed yourself. Poor, poor Cody. He can't even play a game and win without being called a cheater. LOL. I'm sorry Cody !!
What's the matter Dan. Jealous !!!. LOL. Thought you might enjoy that.
Have a great day everyone. We are just going to chill.
Love,
Gail
