Sunny spring days

Soccer season began on Saturday. This year Oksana and Nikolai are playing.

It was very cold and overcast (good ole Ohio weather), but Oksana already seems a natural. Yes it was mass chaos. There were about 150 kids and two instructors and way too many parents. Luckily, it will calm down next practice, so they say (or I hope so) and the kids will be in little teams.


By Sunday the weather had improved drastically.
Sunday Larry and Vitaly rode their bikes 18 miles, and V even got a sunburn.
Oksana opted for the two mile ride with mommy walking Stormy and Skye.



Monday the kids and a friend went to my dad's farm to see his baby chicks. The kids had never held one and it was a wonderful experience.

Then they went for a hike


And discovered....only something that you could find at a farm...




A dead cow carcass and bones.. GROSS!
Needless to say there was five minutes of handwashing prior to dinner.
