Our Journey

On June 15 we left Moscow, Russia after 10 years here as a family and returned to California overland. Traveling with 3 kids by train, boat and car through Europe, across the Atlantic and then across the US may not be your idea of a relaxing summer vacation. It was not ours either, but it was the trip of a lifetime!

DAY 26: Katie turns Five!

July 11

For the second year in a row, Katie celebrated her birthday at the home of her Grauntie Joan. (Grauntie = Great Aunt; Gruncle = Great Uncle. Note to OED editors--Joan herself coined these terms.) Her haul for the day included a bag of polished semi-precious stones from Grauntie Helene and Grunkle Larry.
Her cake was designed in light of her road trip to California, and gave us some design ideas for the Silver Bullet. She blew out her five candles in only three tries.

After the cake, the kids moved to the deck to roast marshmallows.
