June 19

Today was another day like walking on the sun. Now I know why they walk so slow and never say Excuse Me when running into you....the heat takes it out of them.

Yesterday when we were doing yard work at the orphange they brought the 3 or 4 year old kids out to play in the yard. I was digging weeds out of the dirt and had about 6 kids standing about 12 inches from me watching me like I was a freak. One little boy had a bucket and I thought we wanted to dig too, but when I made a move for his bucket to fill it, he got really concerned I was going to take his bucket. After about half an hour outside, they stripped the kids down to their underwwear to play on the new playset, then got out the hose and hosed them down for half an hour. Hmmm, maybe Andrew's life in America won't be too different!

We tried spending some time inside today and Andrew was having fun beating on everyting with the plastic bowling pins. After about 20 minutes of beating in the sweltering hot room, we headed outside for our visit today, which was like being in an outdoor sauna. Andrew lasted about an hour in the heat, then crashed in the stroller again.







This is one of the pictures of one of the 2 play rooms--- we were banished from the other playroom for unknown reasons. The big yellow thing on the right side is the jump-o-lene that Rob liked to shake like an Earthquake with Andrew in it.

For dinner last night Natalie decided to try the shrimp....in a landlocked country, except for the Caspian Sea, I do not suggest the shrimp. They looked dried up and had eye balls. Hmm, are Kazak Shrimps really tiny crawfishes? Where is Bubba Gump when you need him.





And Rob will love this one, if he does not like Andy, then he will love the birth certificate: Endru Taylor. What a phonetic country.

Adn another thing, Rob was gripeing that I was not putting KAZ on the posts anymore, but I don't see many USA posts.
