Flat Macie in Thailand

 After seven days of travel, Flat Macie made it to Thailand.  She went from the cold temperatures of Kenmore to the hot humid weather of Bangkok and boy was she ready to get out of that stuffy envelope!   Once Amelia and Liam meet Flat Macie, they were in love.  We decided to treat Flat Macie as if our cousin was really here knowing that the real Macie cannot make the trip .  Thank goodness Macie and class where doing a class project around the book "Flat Stanley".

In Thailand we live in a community that is very much like America.  It is a BIG neighborhood (‘moo-bahn’ in Thai), where we play with neighbors, BBQ with friends, and walk to the store for ice cream.  In our neighborhood is our school, Ruamrudee International School.  RIS is an American based school where we all speak English and use American curriculums.  At RIS Amelia is in pre-kindergarten.  There she is learning math, reading, writing and many other things.  Her favorite thing to do is play at recess with her friends Lizzy and Jazzy.  Her least favorite thing to do is take a nap.  

RIS was the first place Amelia wanted to take Flat Macie.  Below are pictures in front of Amelia’s classroom door and the playground.  Flat Macie loved going down the slide.

Just outside the gates of our neighborhood you can see “real” Thailand.  This is where there are people on the streets selling food, clothes, and most anything that can be purchased.  FM arrived during the weekend, so we thought it would be fun to take her for a taxi ride to see our local Wat and weekend floating market.  There Amelia showed her the sights, we relaxed on a boat with iced Thai tea, and we toured the Wat.  Flat Macie loved everything that she saw and ate.  She also got to meet some friends of ours who were also there showing friends around.

After some long thought, Flat Macie has decided that she is going to stay with us in Thailand.  She loves feeling warm and has many more foods to try and places to see.  Thank you to 

We ran into friends at the market.  They wanted a picture with Macie.

Even Superman wanted in on the action.
