Inside the Kremlin

Helping daddy push my stroller in front of the Cathedral of the Archangel .

Wait for me!

Tsar Pushka is thought to be the world's largest howitzer ever made. The cannon balls, made in St. Petersburg, are actually larger than the diameter of the cannon's bore. Their impractical size is said to be a humorous symbol of the friendly rivalry between St Petersburg and Moscow.

Around Moscow

Bosco Cafe on Red Square YUMMY!

Red Square, in front of St Basil's and the Kremlin

At our Vasil'evskaya street apartment. Looking out this window, helped me when I was upset.

Moscow Zoopark

Today, we went to the Moscow Zoo. It is a rather complex layout, for a zoo in the middle of a big city. I enjoyed seeing some of the animals, but mostly, I was interested in helping push my stroller.




































I got to take a lick from daddy's "eskimo" ice cream treat. I also got a taste of the camera lens...

Alexander Garden

Along one wall of the Kremlin fortress is the Alexander garden. It makes a nice quiet place to relax, after walking Red Square.













Here, we're standing in front of the tomb of the unknown soldier.

Red Square

Today, we went to Red Square. We went daddy's first night here, but wanted to visit during the day. We toured Lennin's Mausoleum, and wandered the square, looking at all of the architecture.



























































By the end of the day, we were all beat!

Daddy comes to visit us in Moscow

Daddy has flown to meet us in Moscow. His first day here, we showed him Red Square, GUM, St. Basil's Cathedral, and the Kremlin.






























































I have been walking around all day, saying (singing, shouting, whispering) "dada!" I'm so
happy to see him and he's so happy to see us!








Grandma will recognize this scene...

Kiev Botanical Gardens

Today was such beautiful weather, mommy and grandma just had to take me to the botanical garden of the Acadamy of Sciences of Ukraine. Which neighbors the Vydubychi Monastery (the green and gold domes behind us). This was also a rare opportunity to see the lilacs bloom, as they only put on such a big show, just a few weeks out of the whole year.

I am very social and love to walk around and meet new people. I tried to show this couple how to play with their bee, but they were happier just to sit and watch it spin. Silly people.
