The Adventure Continues!

Well the first week of Mimi and Pop’s 4 week visit is over. The week has just flown by. It has been so great to spend lots of time with my parents and show them around our new town. Pop even got to see Allan in action. Last Tuesday he went to the clinic with Allan to watch him do minor hand surgery. He didn’t seem to be grossed out and even took a few pictures.

One thing Pop has had a hard time adjusting to is the driving. Traffic in the PI is crazy and it can also be a little nerve racking. After a few rides in the front seat, Pop decided he would just sit in the back, that is until just he and I went to school on Thursday to pick up the kids and saw a trike carrying a small refrigerator. We discussed how we wish we had the camera to catch occurrences like that. Pop decided then and there he was going to be the official front seat photographer. I hope we see some more interesting things on our drives and we can share the pictures with you.

Friday we went to school to see the Elementary school International Parade with music provided by the 6th grade band. Emily was excited to play in her first marching band parade. It was great fun! We also stayed and went to the Elementary chapel. Each grade gave a presentation about the continent they have spent the last month studying and then they prayed for that continent.

Friday night, the middle school bands and choir put on their Christmas concert. It was great to see how much the 6th grade band had improved since last year when they were the 5th grade beginner band. Emily enjoyed performing and showing off just a little for her grandparents.

Mimi and Pop are now of with Allan at the clinic. I wish I was there with them, but Will is home with a fever and vomiting. Hope he is better soon. I hate for him to feel so bad when he has Mimi and Pop here to play with.
