At the amusement park

Last week, Ul and Makar went to an amusement park and rode a few rides...

Makar & Ul

...which made me think of posting a bunch of photos of the girls on rollercoasters and various rides!

Back in Croatia!!

Ul and Makar are vacationing St Tropez, and the other girls are back in Croatia for training and relaxation!  My, my, the RG girls are quite the globetrotters!

Ul & Makar in St. Tropez

Jeez, I wish I could vacation like an RG girl!!  Back in May, Ul was relaxing in sunny Morocco.  Last month, Makar got to hang out at the beach in Italy.  This week, they're BOTH in lovely St. Tropez, hanging out with their pal Andrei Kirilenko and his family and a bunch of other pro basketball players!

The girls met with Putin!

I guess he made a speech to all the participants in the 2013 Universiade...?

Nastia M, Olga, Nazar, Putin, Rita, Blizia, Ksyu, Elena (where did Sasha go??)

(The height difference between Ksyu and Elena is so striking--HAHA!)
I love how the girls are sitting in the front row.  OF COURSE THEY ARE!

And of course, Madame Viner had to saw a few words...

Karaoke, RG style!

The girls (and especially Dasha D) seem to be hanging out a lot with Matya (Ekaterina Malygina) recently!  Last week, they all went out for some karaoke!

And Makar did some interpretive dance...sadly, I can't tell who's singing..

Singing at the karaoke club wasn't enough, so Dasha D, Makar and Samishka continued in the car...

...and some other time, they were singing at their favorite hangout, La PLAGE!
