Simferopol day 4

I guess we have a schedule now wheather we like it or not. Maxim and Sasha wake up at 6:30 and they play for awhile, eat and then it depends on what we have planed on for the day. If the kids don't wake Ray up we have to so he has time to get ready before we go. Today George came about 10:00 so we could take the children to a puppet theater. We decided that the circus would be over too late (10:00) pm for walking home in the dark. It was a very long walk but the children did great. Ray seems like he has been here before but he must just have a good sense of direction. When we arrived at the theater todays show was over. It starts at 10:00 on week days and 11:00 on weekends. We decided to see if the circus had any shows earlier in the day. Sunday they have a show at 12:00 so we bought tickets. It is inside building so it should be good rain or shine. On the way to the circus we walked by a movie theater so we thought it would give us something to do. George and the boys decided to watch a movie about the destruction of LA (I forgot the name).
We hope to be in Kiev late on Wendnesday. Our passports are supposed to be done and then we will catch the train (we hope). All we have to do them is get 3 doctor appointments and our visit to the US Embasy for visas on Thursday, have them completed on Friday and then we are done and on our way home on Monday. The train ride is about 10 hours and Maxim get car sick and the heat is about 90* so it will be a long day. We are hoping to be able to catch up on sleep on Saturday and Sunday because the flights home will make for another long day.
The kids are a blast, they are always talking back and fourth about everything. Maxim always trys to involve Sasha in everything he does, Ray is playing with her a lot. She has them wrapped around her little finger (Papa is next). Ray helps alot and is learning the most English but they all are doing well. We have picked up a few words ourselves.
I have pictures to download so I will write more tomorrow... enjoy!
Love and miss you all.
