| Getting some presents |
So this post is lots of photos. I spent last Saturday with Joe and his wife, Liv, at the orphanage that Liv has been working at since Joe(and Liv) have been in Mongolia. It was a great fun day of celebration - from gifts to sledding - plus the live entertainment!

| Panda chowing on some pizza |
Panda was rescued by Liv from two drunks who were using the poor puppy like a football. Very cute and the kids love having him to play with. Careful.... Panda pees when you try to pick him up. But will happily accept offers of pizza.

| The whole snow party |
Super cool party people! There are about 65 kids who live at the orphanage. Once they are a bit older (past 14) there is another facility that's a bit closer to town and the school. For these kids - school is just the next building over. It's been a huge project to build the new facility and everyone was thrilled to be able to show off their new digs.

| sledding |
That hill is as big as it looks. Probably a little steeper than it looks.

| the catch crew |
Which is why you need the crew at the "bottom" of the hill.

| the view |
It's quite pretty and seriously a lot of space out there. A bit hard to see in this - but there is a small town down there at the bottom.

| More view shots |
A new playground and a lot of wide open space to run.
 |
| A little singing |
I quite enjoyed the traditional dress and songs during the program. Unclear how well this young man liked it.

| loved her expression |
She was a hoot. Totally a character who likes arts and crafts. It had been a while since I'd tried to cross stitch anything - which she found hilarious.
