Day 3 of the 10 day wait: visiting the orphanage

We got up and went to Graceland this morning for a visit. Like last Friday, we arrived to find all of the kids outside playing games. We joined in once again and had fun watching Elvis participating in relays and dancing.

Baby Vika decided she wanted to sit with me. This little one breaks my heart, and I was glad to give her a little attention.







They did the Chicken Dance, which was very amusing. They also did some regular dancing, as seen here. Our boy loves to shake his stuff!









Here are some pictures of the games he played.

In this one, the kids stood in a line and had to pass the ball backwards down the line, over their heads. Problem here? The kids before and after Elvis were much taller than he, so the ball usually just passed right over him :)








On this relay, each child had to walk with the ball held between their legs. He just waddled down the line while holding it!




After the fun time was over, we went to find a playground to hang out together for a little while.





He loves for Daddy to swing him in the air.






And he LOVES juice!

Love all the new pics in this update. William are you going to teach "Elvis" to use the broom as well as you do? Or should that be "good?" Oh well, it doesn't matter does it? Love you Baba
