Learning Thai

On Saturday we had a fun "family date" in the city. We've mostly stayed out of Bangkok as a family since Silas was born- first of all because Silas was too little for a big adventure, then we were in the States, and after that there was so much violence and unrest in that area, that we stayed away for safety. Now that Silas is older and things are calm again, we are looking forward to doing more exploring of the city as a family. Our first field trip/adventure was to the Bangkok Art and Culture Museum- a free modern art museum in the downtown area. Silas loved riding the skytrain down there. He kept saying "Up here! Up here!"

Here's a little photo tour for you...

We really liked this series on ordinary home life in Thailand.

Claire and Eliza were very serious about posing for their sketch portrait.

Silas's portrait drawing attracted a crowd. This guy was really talented!
