We had heard that there were WWII tanks that the children could play in, so we went there first.
The kids were so excited because not only could they climb on the tanks, they could climb in the tanks, and they could even move the turret of the tanks. "They'd never let us do this in America!!"
William thought that climbing on tanks was mostly okay.
There were also guns. I'm not exactly clear what kind of guns - you'd have to talk to Brandon about that.
But the guns were also highly entertaining. After all, what child hasn't wanted to push all the buttons and pull all the levers on big guns?
The anti-aircraft gun was very popular, as not only could you raise the gun, you could turn the entire carriage in a complete circle. While raising and lowering the gun.
Pink dresses go very well with green guns.
In addition to the guns and tanks, there were also trucks to play in and pretend to drive across the front to go and battle with the Germans. We've watched quite a lot of WWII movies with the children, so they were pretty excited about seeing real pieces of history.
They didn't run William over.
The kids all declared, after climbing over and under and in everything they could find, that this was even better than the Chinese exercise equipment in the Dushanbe botanical gardens, and when can we come back? The gardens were wonderfully green and shady with pleasant walking paths, so I think it's safe to say that we will be going back very soon.
