Today we took Sergiy to the Monster Truck Jam in Des Moines. I had never been to one myself. We were warned to take ear plugs which we forgot but fortunately, Deborah found some for sale at the Events Center. We had great seats and it was about a 2 hour show. Sergiy liked it and took the rest of his pictures that he had left on his disposable camera.
On the way there, we stopped at a Eastern European grocery store that someone had told us about. Sergiy saw dried calamari for sale and really wanted it. So we bought it and some type of Ukrainian cakes. Both things were only $5.00 so it wasn't expensive. He liked the cakes and has really liked the calamari. The problem is....the calamari smells terrible! Right now we are sitting on the couch watching "The Night at the Museum" and he is eating it right beside me. The stench is terrible. He keeps asking me if I want some....no thanks.
We also shopped today to complete buying some clothes before he leaves. He needed a few more things and we had to exchange some jeans that were a bit too small. His favorite purchase was some camouflage pants. We also bought some birthday gifts and will be having a birthday party on Thursday. We got an off brand mp3 player and picked up a plug adapter combined with a voltage thig a ma jig that will allow him to recharge it with their different electrical voltage. Hopefully he can manage that but I know that many kids have cell phones and keep them recharged.
