HapPy 4th of July!

This year for the 4th of July we were in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The American Consulate threw a big party that was catered by a restaurant called Duke's (that most foreigners love). We got there and Aashini had a blast playing. Here she is with her buddy Callie (behind her). They got to play together a lot while we were in Chiang Mai. They had fun together :)
Aashini really enjoyed this bouncy house :)
I think this mid-air picture :)
haha! her look of determination in this picture is so funny :)
She got to dress up and get her picture taken. I took a few pictures of that that I will post later. We never got the pictures that the man took because we had to leave early.
Diya had fun drinking water and eating ice - her new favorite thing (the girl loves ice!)
Aashini got her face painted for the first time.
She loved it!
So, the party was a bit of a flop. They didn't expect the amount of people that came, so the food lines were about an hour long each (one line for sides, one line for drinks, one line for main course, etc...), so instead of waiting in lines, we left and went to the Sunday night market and ate some yummy Thai food :) When we left Aashini kept staring at the bugs. The girl loves bugs! She wanted to sit and stare at the bugs and the bat for a long time. She cried when we had to leave :)
We had a fun 4th of July :)

Happy 4th! The American embassy in our overseas city throws a Christmas decor- party every year in November. They rent out a ballroom at a swanky hotel downtown and gather any and every person selling Christmas decorations to be vendors. It's so much fun. Sorry there wasn't enough Duke's to go around for everyone! Duke's is YUMMY!!!

I don't think Hazel would sit still for a face painting! I'm impressed with Aashini, the little entymologist. :)

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll
