Children's Day
Well, I'm pretty late blogging about this, but last Saturday was Children's Day, so we spent the day doing something special for C and E....going to their favorite place, Leo Land. Had a great time as usual swimming and floating on rafts (thanks Dara!!) and picnicking by the pool. We noticed that there were kids playing inside these gigantic blowup balls in another pool. Claire decided she was brave enough to try it. We were afraid she might panic but decided to let her try it....

She was absolutely terrified as they were blowing up the ball. She was crying and asking to be let out. Mommy and Daddy felt terrible. To rescue, or not to rescue and hope that it ended up being fun???

It ended up being really fun!

Later that night we attended out neighborhood's celebration of children's day, complete with free noodles, ice cream, and cotton candy as well as balloons and ......

Presents! Eliza especially was thrilled with the new backpack which came with Thai books and notebooks, pencils, etc.
It was a happy children's day and we feel very blessed to have two healthy and fun kids.

That picture of Claire terrified inside of the balloon just gets me! I'm glad it turned out to be fun, for everyone's sake!
