April updates: Nastya's recital, sakura festival, shashliki on dacha

OK, let's translate some of the terms here, first.

Sakura = cherry blossom, shashliki = shish kebabs, dacha = country house

My niece Nastya before the recital. Isn't she beautiful?

My other niece Liza and Olivia are drinking juice

Japanese cherry blossom

At the cherry blossom festival. Different vendors had food, shashliki primarily, honey, wine, souvenirs. Loved browsing it all!

On the way back home

Olivia with my uncle Yura. They had an amazing connection right from the beginning. It seemed like  Olivia knew my uncle all her life. She just ran into his arms every time! My uncle called her "the redhead one" :)

On the swing. Waiting for dinner.

Shashliki are ready. Yum!!

Setting up the table.
