Elephants, distracted walking, WhoDat, spots and other random pictures

Orin has recently discovered Comics and he thinks they are the funniest, greatest things ever. We only have a few (Snoopy, BC, and Calvin & Hobbs) but he's been reading them constantly. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find these kids of books (in English) here so he's read the same 4 books over and over. I love that he "gets" them (mostly) and it's such fun to hear him crack up. But reading them while walking down a busy street in town probably isn't the best idea.

I guess another Saints fan visited CM! I never thought I'd see something like that at a restaurant here.

We've had many talks with the kids about NOT touching wires of any kind. Luckily they don't seem to even notice them.

We found a restaurant that serves western type food and even has these fun "peanuts". They are actually a little different than peanuts but similar enough that it makes us feel a little like we're at Texas Roadhouse. Oh, and notice the glass coke bottle? Most drinks are in glass bottles and there is no such thing as Styrofoam cups for children. The kids have broken quite a few of these around town!

A while back Orin woke up one morning with this crazy rash - everywhere! It was so strange. We went to one Doctor who said it was Measles, but Orin had had two vaccinations so we couldn't believe that was it. After seeing two more Docs, one finally said, "I don't know what it is but I don't think it's dangerous." So, we just waited and after about a week it went away. But it was so strange.

My first attempt at a French Braid on Sora. She's pretty wiggly and it came out OK. She looked cute though!

For some reason I don't think this guy selling dried fish at the night market is also a University of Arizona Alumni. But I guess you never know!

The family of some of our good friends here came to visit from America. We went to an Elephant Camp one day and they were so nice to treat us to a ride on the Elephants. The kids (except Sora) LOVED it. Unfortunately all of these were taken with my phone so they aren't the best quality.

Everyone ready to watch the Elephant show!
