Saturday, in the Park

Today was a funfilled and busy day, but very relaxing too! We started the morning with breakfast in the hotel restaurant. At 11:45 a.m., we met Marina to return to the Shelter.

We had gifts for Saule, Galina, and Katya's caretakers, not to mention Marina herself. From there, we made a stop at our favorite pizza place, where Katya devoured four pieces of pizzas.

Returning to the hotel, Mama took a nap, while Katya and Papa played together. Papa lost two card games and a paper football game as well.

At 4:00 p.m., we walked with Marina over to the amusement park. Mama and Katya rode a roller coaster and two swing type rides. All three of us rode the bumper cars. Mama had fun, although she kept thinking about her brother's missing tooth!!!

After cotton candy, we walked over to the red brick restaurant for an early supper. Katya, Marina, and Papa had pork kabobs, and Mama had lamb kabobs. 'fkusna!

On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at an ice cream vendor for some ice creams to eat later.

We're planning on watching "Finding Nemo" in a bit. Tomorrow morning will be spent packing, as we leave at 1:30 p.m. to drive to the airport for our return flight to Almaty.
