Hello! My name’s Ann, 29, live in Moscow. I want to show how we rest in the countryside. We always spend the first weekend of May there in our nice company. We ate and drank, arranged a Cuban party and enjoyed our communication. And the weather was wonderful! The day I describe was April 30th, 2012.

It’s nice to wake up in the coutryside. I like this warm morning light.

Not so early! I love this clock. We have a lot of clocks. But this one is awesome, with natural sand, shells and a little crab.

Going downstairs. The slide is for children.

Turns out they are all still sleeping!

I catch a sleepy husband))

Gonna take a shower. We collect souvenirs from different countries, they make this room so cosy.

In the kitchen I notice something for the upcoming party. Just add some friends! ))

The guys will be hungry when get up. For this case we have eggs and sausages. And I am cooking cottage cheese pancakes.

Andrey with our beloved Liza) she’s only 1,5 months)

And Sophia, she is 4. She is so independent! )

Well-dressed Andrey and Lena

Girls are cooking, boys are chatting

Some days before we were in a bar, these are photos

Sophia is eating already. In fact everything here turns around food. In the countryside you either cook or eat all the time! ))

Sergey and Nataly

Animal clocks collection in the kitchen

Meanwhile we continue eating, the guys finish the pilau we cooked the day before on fire.

The cottage cheese pancakes are disappearing so fast! )

All are awake now and are sitting in the kitchen!

Argosha is eating sour cream

Me and the girls decide to have a walk, we go outside and meet my husband with the dog. Argosha is old but he needs walks anyway…

Local landscapes are too picturesque but the air is so clean and fresh!

The houses are being on sale

It’s not warmer than +15C in fact so I have the uggs on ))

The crazy trinity: Diana, Lena and me!

The second breakfast on the porch

Others just rest

Babies sleep well in the fresh air

Then everyone do want they want, rest or something…

Me and the girls go to the living room to watch TV

I decided to see what the boys are doing. The territory is big, have to spend some time to find them. Turns out they are playing football.

Summer is soon

Dinner time

We decide to make two dishes from nearly the same products: Russian salad and okroshka)))

Gonna be tasty!

And all the big company gathers at the table again!

Rest on the porch

Telling funny stories and having fun.

Me and Lena can’t sit for long in one place so we join the boys to go to a local shop.

Local super market)

We’re back home. Nobody wears his/her own shoes, we put on what we see first))

We decided to decorate the house for the Cuban party! This flag will be great for it!

But someone is sleeping

Andrey is composing

The guys are playing billiards

Mom has collected photos of our big family members in the billiards room! )

Before supper we decide to have a swim

Time to lay the table again

While waiting for the girls I am making a pie! Can’t just sit and do nothing!

I didn’t finish the cake but made a nice dessert!

Lena is making mojito

Diana is cutting lettuce for the barbecue

Time flies! The girls are dressing while the boys are making the barbecue from pork and chicken!

Others are just idling

Our house in spring

Getting ready

Taking photos of each other

Nataly has the best Cuban look!)

Smoking hot Cubans!)))

Cuban party is not the first our idea of a theme party. We’ve had a Hawaiian, naval, vampire and Halloween ones. We do our best to suit the theme! ))

For Liza such a flower seems to be enough!

Some shots

Laying the table in the strains of Cuban music

Cuban look of Denis

Cuban drug dealers!

Andrey is Che Guevara!

Cuban family

Let’s drink for the Cuban freedom!)

We have also prepared some decorations of poor Havana, looks authentic! )

We danced Cuban dances a lot) Liza joined us.

Lena’s master class

Cuba libre replaced mojito

It was very very funny. At night we were swimming in the pool.

Then we ate pineapple.

Thank you! It was a wonderful day!
