AWA Thanksgiving

Even though we're on the other side of the world from the US, we still got to celebrate Thanksgiving yesterday. The American Women's club put on a wonderful potluck picnic in a national park here so we got to enjoy some turkey and great home cooking with our friends. It didn't exactly feel like Thanksgiving because we were all sweating and wearing shorts (which has happened in Houston, but usually not quite this hot) and there was no football, but the sentiment was there just the same.

Ben took a little while to get into the spirit because he wasn't happy about the heat! It threatened to rain nearly the entire time so it was really humid.


Daddy and Ben took a walk through the historic Fort Canning wall, one of the original pieces still standing from 1860.


Ben met a new friend, Jackson, and the two of them had a great time running around together.


Happy guy!


We sat with three other couples with toddlers, but can you guess why we didn't get to spend a lot of time at the table? These kids kept taking off in different directions so we kept chasing them back to our table.


The highlight for Ben's day was the inflatable jumper for the kids. The older kids left for a few minutes so the little guys could have a go at it. Ben didn't quite catch on to the jumping but sure had a great time getting bounced and rolling around.
