Our 9 year old

On the day after Christian's Birthday we headed out to the dacha (a house in the country) to celebrate again with our friends the Skinners. Nancy actually made home made hamburger buns and we grilled hamburgers! What a treat. Buns are one of those things that are difficult to find in Ivanovo. It was a beautiful day and after lunch, Chris took a nap and Jill and Christian played "Yaitso" -- it is a game played with a soccer ball. Christian also took his new spider man water gun with a back pack tank for storing water -- since it was cool, the only thing he could do was shoot the car windows in order to wash them!
