FRUA Picnic

Hi all I know its been a while since I/we have blogged. Not a whole lot has been going on. The kids continue to do great and their English continues to improve while their vocabulary expands. They both have taken to swimming and love to spend as much time as possible in the water. Of course mom and dad are learning how to deal with raising siblings. Sunday we went to the annual Illinois FRUA (Families for Russian and Ukrainian Adoption) picnic. We had a great time catching up with some of the families that we have met over the last couple of years at the groups events. The picnic was held at a beautiful park in West Dundee, Illinois that has a petting zoo, playgrounds and picnic grove. Below are pics of the kids feeding the animals in the petting zoo. A couple of pictures of the kids posing for the group picture of all of the adopted children and then a group photo of all of the adopted kids. There was plenty of authentic Russian and Eastern European food served and a great time was had by all.
