Thursday we walked up the street from us to see St. Sophia’s Cathedral and in the square in front of the cathedral were all these chickens. Not sure why. There weren’t any signs describing anything. So we took some pictures with them. Why not? Who doesn’t like a colorful chicken?

Then we walked down the street further and saw this really impressive building

We also saw this piano asking to be played

Even though it has been quite cool here since we arrived, we went exploring around the city a little bit. We have been going out everyday actually, because when you are in a small apartment with three kids it is very beneficial for everyone’s health and wellness to go outside and walk around.
Here’s what we saw:


We saw this on the wall inside of a restaurant called The Borsch Restaurant

The Statues of Princess Olha, Apostle Andriy, St. Cyril, and St. Methodius

St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery





View across St. Michael’s Square looking at St. Sophia’s Cathedral

The Kiev Funicular

The Dnieper River

People’s Friendship Arch

Arizona BBQ Restaraunt
Micah found this place online and it was worth the walk to get there
They have a kids room with lots of toys and a little play house. The girls loved it.


The food was really good

Happy boys with full bellies
