Last Friday, the girls' school were having a fall harvest and Halloween party for students.  They seemed to enjoyed and having a lot of fun.  The girls' school is pretty unique with such a diversity groups of kids.  They have friends that speaks Spanish and Chinese.  I wish I could do better job teaching the girls Thai.

I  was watching the kids having fun showing each other costumes.  There were 3 batmen, UPS boy, Queen, strawberry short cake, Ghost, and other I don't even know.  The kids were cute. Couple of parents hand made some goody bags for the children and baked cupcakes.  Suwan and Anchalee both ate 2 cup cakes and brought home little Halloween goodies.

Pledge of Allegiance

Anchalee surprised me last night when she told me that she would pledge alligence to me.  I listen to her and was quite impressed that she could do that.
Here what she said "I have to raise my right hand first, my teacher said." The she started to recite the Pledge which says...
"I pledge Allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands,
one nation under God, indivisible,
with Liberty and Justice for all."
I guess four years olds are smarter than we think, ha.




 

What 4 years-old kids think

Yesterday, Suwan spilled some drink on the coffee table.  I asked her not to take the cover off the zippy cup buy she did it anyway.  After the spilled, I asked her to get wipe the table.  She was complaining about table surface is too rough and that it was very hard to get all the liquid out.  "This is too hard, why are you choosing me to do this job, mom?"  She looked at me with such an innocent eyes.  I told her be cause she created the mess and she had to clean it up.  She didn't say any thing afterward.  I thought that was cute what she said to me.

The other day, Anchalee ran to me and told me that her wish didn't come true.  When I asked her what her wish was she told me that she wished for not to have advertisement on television so that she can watches cartoon continuously.  I told her it will be pretty hard to have that wish come true.

Seeing Grizzly Bear at Yellowstone

Yesterday we went back to Yellowstone National Park again to visit sites we've never been.  We drove to the northern part to see Mammoth Hot Spring which is very pretty to look at.  Daddy took us to visit the old fort at the hot spring and we all had lunch at a restaurant.  It was rainy mixed with hailstorm.  Anchalee spotted 3 antelopes running away from hailstorm up the hill.  We drove to the west to the highest part of the park but got stuck on traffic for awhile.  A car in front of the line just stopped right in the middle of the road causing back up traffic.  Couple tourists came out of their car and took pictures.  We couldn't understand what was they taking picture of.  Later on, we realized that there was a grizzly bear just off the road.  We only see his back and behind.  He was busy looking for thing to eat on the ground.  He didn't pay any attention to us.  Daddy has some pictures of him. 



We took a little hike to see Artist Pot hotspring and it was quite cold.  At one point we ran to see a water fall in the rain.  We got wet even in our raincoats.

On the way back home we ran into another traffic due to 2 buffalo walking on the road.  Then we waited 20 minutes because of the construction.

Artist Point, it looks much prettier in real life than this.

As you can see we have a lot of fun and got to see so many things in Yellowstone National Park.  Finally we'd got to see more than one buffalo which we experienced at Buffalo Range last week.  We saw elk from far away and daddy also spotted a coyote.  The geysers are very impressive but sent out smell of sulfur all over the place.  We got really excited to see the Old Faithful that shot up so high.  We had lunch at the cafeteria and it was pretty good.  We ended our day with stopping by at the playground near the hotel and had Chinese food for dinner.  It was yummy!
