It is Sunday and time for another picnic in Ivanivka…

The cluster in Ivanivka had a community picnic as their community development project during training, so a few of us hopped a bus from Chernihiv.  We all had a great time.  There was a ton of laughs and food with a great mix of Peace Corps and the community of Ivanivka.

Ah, tug-of-war and a three-legged race.  Sometimes there is just nothing better on a sunny afternoon.

These two little girls were adorable.  I love the matching dresses.

Jesse, another trainee, played a few songs.  Michelle, filling water balloons, and so creatively.  And Sara, my cluster mate enjoying a bit of water balloon toss.

This was the biggest dutch oven I had ever seen.  Adam’s host mom cooked porridge for us.  It was amazing.  My host mom makes is quite a bit, but picnic style was awesome.
