Moscow Again VDNH

Of course, on the way we had to stop at our river spot. I love this picture with my Mom. It is definitely a framer. 
It was fun here. When my Dad took a picture, we did not realize how much water went away before the wave would hit my shoes. I screamed when it happened. :)
Here we had fun - we decided on the snack before we took off. So, while we were standing there, my Dad looked and asked why I was so blue. I looked at him and asked the same about him. (he was all in blue as well). He is funny!

Then my Mom fooled him asking if he put on his shirt front to back. He took it off, changed and then realized she was pulling his leg and laughing. :) Love them!
I love going there with my parents. It is like OUR spot. My Dad and I were wearing roller blades and my Mom was on the bike. It was helpful because when the road went down, we could hold on to her. We NEEDED it badly in some places :) I fell almost right away when I was trying to go around the well lid. It happened so fast that I could not even understand how I ended up on my rare end :)

 
Made up Buran, spaceship that flew in 1988 as unmanned flight. 
Yip, house upside down.
 I can clearly see the pig running :)

 Just a very pretty view. :)
 Love how the building refelcts on the water.
 Central Pavilion.
Famous sculputre.
Wikipedia info:
Rabochiy i Kolkhoznitsa (Worker and Kolkhoz Woman) (RussianРабо́чий и колхо́зница Rabochiy i Kolkhoznitsa) is a famous landmark of monumental art, "the ideal and symbol of the Soviet epoch", that represents a dynamic sculpture group of two figures with a sickle and a hammer raised over their heads. It is 24.5 meters (78 feet) high, made from stainless steel by Vera Mukhina for the 1937 World's Fair in Paris,[1] and subsequently moved to Moscow. The sculpture is an example of the socialist realistic style, as well as Art Deco style. The worker holds aloft a hammer and the kolkhoz woman a sickle to form the hammer and sickle symbol.[1]

The park was getting ready for Day of the city this weekend so it was not crowded and landscapers were working on all those flowers. So pretty!
