Life at the reindeer camp.

It has been a while since my last post and since I'm home all the time while recovering from cold I decided to get back to my story. So here we go: Life at the reindeer camp. A usual day in our small reindeer camp would start by awakening... in a cold tent and putting all available clothes on. Somebody would heat up the oven, believe me it's not an easy thing to do, and because we had to be very careful in using matches (the nearest shop was couple of thousands km away from us) , I was the last person whom they would ask to make fire - hahaha, - once I used the whole box with matches up and couldn't make fire... Again I'm putting up some pics from that life:

These children are amazing! Please meet Sergey Pogodaev (13). Every summer he spends with his uncles helping them in their work with reindeer. He just loves it.


In this pic you see Vitaliy (14). Getting ready to catch a reindeer for riding.He looks awsome here and he catches one very quickly.
Here you see me Maxim and Diana (11). She is amazing! I can't help of prasing her because she is amazing! Let me tell you she is the one who takes care of her two cousens and her uncle: she cooks basically everything, she makes bread, she helps with herding when it is needed and she finds time to play in the forest with little ones... and she is only 11!!! A-MA-ZING!!!
