Red Square

Yeah! We finally made it to Red Square today! When we headed out it was a nice day, a bit windy, cool in the shade yet warm in the sun. Daryle and Travis went to visit Lenin's tomb while Connor slept in the stroller and I held the bags. I have no interest in seeing that guy! Then we all four ate lunch at McDonald's right by Red Square. Connor loves those french fries! We decided to try and take some pictures in Red Square, all of a sudden dark clouds and a cold wind came out of nowhere. We did get a few pictures of us with the kids in front of St. Basil's and we got a stranger to take our picture together as a family. I think it turned out pretty well. Connor began to get a bit cranky so we headed home. We didn't get over to the side of the Kremlin, we needed to head back and feed Connor and put him down for a nap. So, we did just that. We were all laying in bed waiting for him to fall asleep when I heard and odd noise...it was Connor trying to take off his diaper!!!! I had to put a onesie on him so he can't do that anymore. As Travis says, "That is one smart baby!" I would have to agree. He does pick up on things quickly! We really have to be on our toes with this one (even more so than with Travis, watch out!). He also realized he can stand up in his crib and was trying to grab the curtains. We later heard him babbling and making all kinds of cute noises so I got out the video camera and tried to record some of it. Well, the light started flashing and he saw it so that ended that. Daryle was getting upset with Travis and I because we were making too much noise so we left and went down to the pool and hot tub. The pool is pretty deep, so not much fun for Travis. We hung out in the hot tub for a bit and we went back to the room, only to make more noise and disturb Mr. Connor....so now we have been banished to the computer room!!

Daryle went to the US Embassy today and found out where the market is, he says it is really close. We have been going in the wrong direction! When we go back and Connor wakes up (I am sure he will! LOL) we are going to take a trip over there for some baby food. I hope we all get to sleep early tonight. Tomorrow is our last day here and we have our Embassy appointment at 2:00. After that we will be packing up and getting ready for our trip HOME on Saturday! We can hardly wait. After that rainy day yesterday I think we were all beginning to get cabin fever! LOL We are almost out of here!!!
