Parents often forget the romanticism of childhood coming to the thought children should be fed, clothed and... prevented from everything being the fascination of the childhood - making discoveries and being careless. I took all four of them and we went to Zheleznovodsk or Pyatigorsk where we swam in the lake or row a boat. Eagerly rowing in turns they fancied themselves to be explorers of the Amazon River. I told them about anaconda and crocodiles. Everyone, including myself, was delighted.
