GREAT Week!

What a great start to the week!  My master chef, Katherine, made chocolate chip cookies.  They were the prettiest cookies that we have made over here.  Each time they seem to turn out different, but she made her Mom VERY happy. 
We made a trip to our old city for a couple of days.  It was so good to see old friends. 
Lauren was giving hugs. 
This little boy just ran over to Regan and bear hugged her.  We have no idea who he was, but he was a funny little guy.  Most little ones are not so sure about us at first.
Our friends took us to a park and the kids rode these "cars" around all over the place.  It was hilarious.  The kids had a blast.  Regan chose the panda, Benjamin chose the horse, Katherine the purple mouse, and Lauren the tiger.  They were very fitting to their personalities.
The kids asked the man how much to buy one :) 
Regan played ping pong against boy.  I can't hold the paddle the local way, but Regan seems to have it down.
Mommy and Benjamin
We looked like we had our own kindergarten :)  We met up with another foreign family who has five kids. When you put them all together, it drew quite the crowd.  We couldn't pass up trying to get a picture of them all together though.
 Some other friends took us fishing.  No, we didn't catch anything.  I'm not really sure I would have eaten it from here anyways. 
 Benjamin sure did have fun with it though. 
 This guy is cooking pick fat.  I talked with him for a while and it just kept on cooking.
 Here is a good friends little girl.  Lauren gets to act like the big sister now.  She enjoyed feeding her apples and taking care of her.  I also think she looks adorable in the dress that used to be Lauren's.  We are so happy to be able to pass some things along.
 The kids painted their own faces.  I take that back.  Regan and Benjamin painted their own, Regan painted Lauren's and Benjamin painted Katherine's face.
