This is where I live in Russia. As you can see it is cold and snowy here in Russia, just like in Ohio.

This is a picture of a big shopping center near where I live.

It is called a mall and has lots of stores inside. It even has a bowling alley!!

Here I am inside the mall! Look at the pretend palm trees!!! They have a play area and a Pirate ship I will show you!!

Here I am in front of the toy store. Can you see me next to the door? They have lots of games and toys in this store !!

Look !! They have dolls just like in Ohio !!

The doll with the black hair is named Sonya.

They also have transformer cars, just like in Ohio!!

I got hungry and started looking for some food and found this cat food. Sometimes I wish I was a cat!!!

Look at all the different hot dogs I found,!!!

I am really hungry now!!

The best thing I found was this candy store!! This is where I bought the candy I brought back to you. I read your papers, I am glad you liked it!!

Next to the candy store was a balloon store,. They had a lot of balloons !!!

Here I am in the bowling alley. See all the people bowling .

A little boy saw me at the bowling ally and thought that I was really cute!!

He even gave me a kiss !! That is this Mom next to him. She thought I was cute too!!

Next, I went to a play area in the center of the mall and played on toys! It was a lot of fun!!

Here is the pirate ship !! Look at all the kids playing on it!!

Here is the other side of the ship. Look at the boy way up high in the look out tower!!

Can you see me!!! I’m on the ship, I feel like a real pirate!!

After playing on the pirate ship I took a ride a train that rode around the mall. It was fun!! Do you see me?

We had a lot of fun at the mall but it was time to leave. Here we are driving home.

I hope you liked Russia !! Thank you for the beautiful notes and drawings.
