Back with Photos

I’m not sure why my computer refused  to boot for a day…. I tried it again on Monday morning and it booted fine, and has been fine ever since.  I’ve been trying to get back into the swing of things with being back at home.  We’ve had some issues with Small Fry since we’ve been home.  We figured we would since we were gone for a week.  :-)I didn’t anticipate however that The King Fish would be gone for so long.  He’s been out of town all week and he’ll be gone next week as well.  Thank goodness next week is a short week!

I have not heard from our adoption agency since we’ve been home, so I guess they are trying to figure out this whole court date thing with a new judge.  I still have not received my FBI fingerprints, so that is still a prayer request.

I’m also not allowed to post any pictures of our soon to be little guy, so I’m not even going to post “teaser shots”.  Instead I’ll post photos of our last day in Moscow when The King Fish wanted to visit Gorky Park.  It was a three hour visit and trip back  to our hotel.  No way was I wearing heels for that!  The only comfortable shoes that I brought were flip flops.  So yes, this American totally walked around in flip flops all the way through downtown Moscow!  LOL!  I could care less, who was going to remember me?  (Unfortunately I don’t have a photo of me wearing the flip flops, that have been scrubbed down to get the Moscow street filth off of them….)

So here are some photos of the day.

Scary looking Goofy and Mickey at Gorky Park

     

 

Some Space Shuttle ride The King Fish thought was cool… then he spotted the next ride…

 

 The King Fish is a coaster aficionado

And he’s a thrill seeker… but only when it comes to roller coaster

or maybe jumping out of planes… (82nd Airborne)

 

 Blurry photo of him getting ready to ride…

 

Now he can say he rode a coaster in Moscow City, Russia

This one is actually him in the front left seat….

I beat an 8 year old Russian boy at Whack a Mole, but you don’t see any pictures of that do you???  It was my shining moment at Gorky Park!  (I gave that prize to the little boy I clobbered…. who says I’m not fair??)

Here’s a photo of me along the Moscow River…

The King Fish in front of some statue at a park on our way back to the hotel…

 

We stopped at Sbarros on the way back at Old Arabat street and ate an inexpensive dinner.  Then we headed back to the hotel to relax for a bit.  Our first night in town we went down to the Kremlin and to St. Basil’s but we forgot the camera.  I about twisted my ankle several time on those cobblestones down there.  I had to wear my comfy heels… Ha!  It seems I was made for wearing flip flops!  It’s a good thing I live in the south!

Wish I could show you photos of the the little munchkin!  No name for him yet… still trying to come to an agreement, and also find one that seems to fit him….  ;-)
