Because Michael and Grace's passports took so long to renew, we had no choice but to go to Bangkok last weekend to renew our visas. Not the best choice of weekends: Palm Sunday, a major festival in Bangkok (Songkran, when the whole city essentially becomes a gigantic water fight), and all of us except Daddy sick or just beginning to recover. But, it happened and it was good despite all of that and more.
Friday we managed to squeeze in some banking that had to be done before everything shut down for Songkran as well as some long awaited shoe shopping for Grace. Aiden enjoyed trying on all the shoes too...
Saturday we met up with a friend so the girls could skate together with Anna. We tried out a new rink, and Jasmin christened it with knocking out a loose front tooth. Aiden snuggled in Mommy's lap...
Sunday morning we took part in palm branch waving at our church in Bangkok. Aiden was mystified with what we were doing...
Sunday afternoon the girls got to join one kid-sized community water-fight in the mall we were in for lunch. Aiden pouted on the floor...
We went for ice cream while we waited for Daddy to find us. Aiden pouted on the floor...
Sunday evening we flew home (the train was fully booked until the end of the week!). We arrived at the airport an hour earlier than we needed by accident, and this is what Aiden thought of that extra wait...
Aiden didn't enjoy the weekend very much. But the rest of us did!
