Trip 1, Day 4

This has been the best day of our trip.  We were able to go see little baby E at 10:30 and stay until 12:00.  She was so playful and happy.  Again, I was able to feed her lunch.  She didn't eat very much from the huge bowl of food they sent for her, but she did drink her juice.  We then were able to stay for about 30 minutes after lunch to play with her.  She loved her little baby Eric Carle, The Very Hungy Caterpillar, book with 4 crinkly pages.  She also loves a ball that makes a lot of noise that we took her.  I did have H give up a couple of stuffed animals, but she's not too interested in those.  That's probably a good thing.  I'm pretty sure we are about to be overtaken by the stuffed animals in our house now.
We are missing the kids at home and we're ready to be back at our house.  However, we are looking forward to our visit tomorrow with the baby.  This first trip has been great, but we are ready to get it behind us so that a court date can be set.  We are ready to bring her home ASAP!  :)
When we first found out we were coming to this region we were a little disappointed that it wasn't St. Petersburg.  However, now we are so happy that we are here.  Our hotel is wonderful, there is a huge park we've been walking to each night about 15 minutes down the road, and we've had great phone and internet service while we've been here.  Also, the mall is right next door.  We have access to anything that we need.  It is not a tourist town, so other than the hotel staff and our translator, we haven't met any other English speakers.  Which brings me to our dinner tonight...

I'm posting a picture of dinner because Aubrey and I have laughed about it all night.  We decided after our walk to stop at the mall.  It was crowded with people going to see the new Twilight movie.  We decided to eat at Southern Fried Chicken.  Aubrey told me to get my pointing finger ready.  I pointed to what I wanted which looked like a chicken snack wrap + fries + a Coke.  It took a couple of minutes of head shaking and laughing.  The cashier was a teenage girl and she had another teenage girl standing with her.  I was pointing and saying Coke and I felt good about my order.  Then, Aubrey pointed to a big picture of what he wanted.  Neither of us noticed that it was called the "Hunga Busta."  So, the waitress said, "Oh, Hunga Busta," which cracked us up.  She kept saying stuff to us and we just kept shaking our head - we had no idea what she was saying.  The next thing we knew we ended up with all that is on our tray.  We thought if she went and got one more thing we were going to have to leave.  By the time it was over, all 4 of us were dying laughing.  They were so sweet and we were all confused. We had 4 Cokes (?) - why, 2 snack wraps, 3 fries and 3 pieces of chicken.  We still came out cheaper than the hotel restaurant and we had more fun!
