Well that is the reality. The kids were not happy. No yard to play in. Rachel, Heather and I were thrilled to walk out into Independance Square. It was a thrill for us. We were just a few minutes walking distance. We woke up one morning and dressed about 10. The two older children would not get up. Anna was up and dressed. So we left them and walked to the square. We visited some of the many shops there. We enjoyed walking around the city. Anna did not. We bought her candy to keep her happy.
We went to a place to drive cars indoors. First we went to the indoor bowling. They fussed. Then we looked at the movies. They fussed. To the cars. They had a great time, it was expensive. Then Anna climbed through a children's playground. We went into 2 0r 3 stores. They fussed. I decided we did not need to spend money on children that were rude and ungrateful. So we went back to the apartment. We did not play the video games because I was tired if the grumbling. Heather and Rachel were disappointed that they did not get to go to the movie or bowling. They clearly understoood how miserable the other 3 would have made it. They understood my reason for leaving.
There was a park across the street from us. We did not know it the first time we were in Kiev. We had a hard time finding groceries, more importantly water. We walked to the park and played there for awhile. The older 2 just wanted to watch tv. Nothing on tv is in English. They usually try to watch garbage on tv. They turn the channel back to garbage when I walk out of the room. I walk into the room alot!
They have broked the balls, and etc I have given them. Anna has broken her suitcase, two bottles of fingernail polish in her purse, backpack and etc. They said they did not want me to buy them anything. At this point I agree with them.
We had taken them to the street market to get a jersey for Vlad, a picture and blown glass for Haley (and etc). We tried to take Haley shopping to get something for the wedding or a new shirt. She did not want anything. Nothing was good enough. So no more shopping.
