Anyone have a spare Tire?

Note: there are two posts today.

It was another sunny day today (Wednesday) in Kremenchuk so we decided to walk home from our morning visit and explore more of the city in hope of find a restaurant with English menus.

The morning play session with Karyna started off poorly as Nathan lost a tire on the bike he has been riding around for the last week. The rubber tire had split apart! How are we going to explain this to the caregivers? I guess we have a little shopping to do for either a new bike or try and find a replacement tire. That was pretty much the only excitment during the two hour visit.

During our drive to the Loblaw's Supercentre like grocery store last week, we saw what appeared to be a bowling alley and a restaurant beside it with the word Pizza - a good place to start. After walking for about 45 minutes we arrived at the bowling alley. Walking to the side, we found a menu plastered on the window and to our surprise it had English subtitles. The pub was below the bowling alley and empty until we arrived. The menu had many selections and the prices were very reasonable - we had greek salad, pizza, two pops and orange juice for $12 CAD. We will be spending a lot of time here until we leave for Canada.

During the afternoon play session, we tried some new foods for Karyna - cheese and yogurt. So far we know she likes cookies, bread, crackers, banana, and yogurt. She dislikes cheese, apple, and cucumber. She tries new food by licking it. If is has a taste she likes, then it goes in her mouth otherwise, she drops it to the floor. If you give it to her again, she turns her head to the side. If you continue to force it on her, she puts her hands up pushing the food away. Martha will have her hands full when we return. Nathan on the other hand was not fusy with food.

She picked up the word Hi this afternoon and loves to look in the mirror - what girl doesn't!

P.S. - we had another addition to the family on Monday as my sister Joanne gave birth to a baby boy. Congratulations Joanne, Mike, and older brother Graeme who wanted a sister!

Enjoy the photos of Kremenchuk.
