Learning Thai

Our last few days of vacation with Grandma and Gramps have been really fun and we got in a lot more activity in the city. Over the weekend, we enjoyed an "adults only" river boat dinner, an action packed morning at the Children's Museum, some quick shopping at the (huge, hot and crowded) weekend market, team church at our house, and a big Sunday lunch at our landlord's home.......

On the river boat (a converted teak wood rice barge)- enjoying the sights of the city, lit up at night...and the huge and delicious Thai meal.

Playing firemen at the museum.

Our family, along with Raul and Dan, enjoying a big lunch at our landlords- the menu included fried chicken, fried fish, two kinds of rice, squid, and grilled pork and fruit.

With our landlords Seri and Ulai. Stuart and Seri were fast friends despite the obvious communication barrier.

Aside from all the fun sight seeing and relaxing, the girls favorite parts of the grandparent time, were just the "normal" play times at home....having grandparents there for nightly devotions, grandma helping with showers, taking Buddy for walks with Grandpa, playing dollhouse, many games of "Mother May I", Hide and Seek in the dark and Hide the Thimble.....and many stories, piggy back rides, lots of hugs and love. Our girls are very lucky to have grandparents like you! There was a lot of crying at our house last night! It was so special to have you here and we miss you already!

Now, we are adjusting back to normal life. Our week includes several meetings with our team mates, English teaching for both of us, and welcoming our new team mate/intern, Anita.
