International Week

This past week at school was International Week.  For three days, students came dressed as "world" themes: Western/European, Asian and Thai.   On Wednesday, there was a big Food Festival where venders sold samples of foods from around the world (mainly Asia) and students did performances.  It reminded me of the Bite of Bellingham.   Of course the most popular vender was Dairy Queen.  Goma brought Liam over for the celebration on Wednesday.  We sampled foods and watched shows.

But the best part of the week.....seeing what the students were wearing.  Western Day (The America's) being quiet funny.  A lot of the students think Americans are all cowboys!  Due to that, Amelia brought in a picture of Grandpa Daryl with Washington's Rodeo Queen from the Lynden Rodeo to share.  Miss Anne, her teacher, said the rest of the class was VERY impressed and Amelia very proud of her grandpa.  Maybe someday he will come for a visit so she can show her real cowboy off in person :) (hint,hint).

Amelia and her class on Western Day.  I had better outfits for her to wear that were more "western" looking, but she was more excited to not have to wear her uniform and chose that one.

The coconut vender.  Did you know coconut water if REALLY good for you?  Better than Gatorade when you need to get re-hydrated. 

Students dresses in Asian wear.

The fair was in the elementary and high school breezeways.  At least 30 venders.

Love this picture.  I stole this one and the rest off the school website.

Look at the blonde curls thanks to Thailand weather.
