Wildlife Ranch

On the way from San Antonio we stopped by the wildlife ranch to look at the animals. the weather was hot and all the animals were trying to hide under the shade. We didn't feed any animals from the car because the animals were in hiding and not hungry. Well, at least David had fun looking at the animals.

Riverwalk

Riverwalk in San Antonio pictures. David enjoyed the ride on the boat. We had dinner with Vova, Sveta, and Danila. It was a lot of fun. Thank you guys for coming, the riverwalk sure gets busy on Friday nights!

Happy Birthday!

Today David turned 4! I cannot believe he is 4 already! Being in labor and looking at him for the first time feels like yesterday. Time is unbelievably fast and we try hard to hang on to the memories we have. Some memories stay with us forever and some are forgotten (or would be without journals, pictures, or blogs), and to me, the first look at David will be in my memory always.















Today was a busy day. We started out by taking David to his favorite breakfast place, The Original Pancake House. He had his favorite pancakes with cool whip and chocolate chips.

Sea world

David was looking forward to going to Sea World for the last month and we finally made it. David was really excited to see all the animals, but what he didn't expect was to feed the dolphins and touch them. He was so excited when he touched one, it was amazing. Misha was even more excited when a dolphin played with him. He was more excited than David was, he was like a kid again. It was just like a commercial for the Disney World- walking in as an adult and playing like a kid. A few tips if you are planning on going - stay near the hotel so you can rest whenever and do not go on the weekends, the lines are not worth it. You can get the tickets online, so plan ahead. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy.

San Antonio

We finally got out of Dallas heat into.... San Antonio heat. We had a chance to visitour dear friends Sveta, Vova, and their cute little son Danila. Vova and Misha had a great time barbequing russian kolbasky and drinking, well, what can they drink, vodka, of course. They had a GRAND time together. We spent a night at their new house: we had dinner together and had to say good buy to them in the morning so we could go and check in our hotel. I was suprised to see Misha doing well in Sea World the next morning. Thank you so much to Sveta, Vova, and Danila, for letting us stay with you. We enjoyed seeing you and hope wewill see you soon in our Dallas heat :)

Jake's birthday

Today we went to celebrate Jake's 4th birthday at the pool. It was so much fun - kids enjoyed running around in the pool, going down the slides, and spraying each other with water. It was pure summer fun. Even though it was a bit hot, the boys didn't feel the heat, they were just "cool" with it. The cake was great and David would not have missed it for the pool, so he went to sit down so he can eat the cake. David was a little sad to go and wanted to stay longer with his best friends Jake and Ben.
