SONGKRAN!!!

We arrived in Thailand at a very interesting time... April 13th officially marked the beginning of the Thai holiday known as Songkran... aka "the water throwing holiday". It is a time of celebration where kids and adults line the streets with their water guns, buckets of water (some packed with ice), water hoses etc and throw water on cars, motorcycles, and pedestrians going down the street. The Thai people see it as a New Years celebration signaling the beginning of Monsoon season.

Our apartment was right in the middle of the Songkran action! Some friends gave Corinne a water gun so she could defend herself! The people were so sweet to Corinne as she walked down the road and sqirted people with her water gun... Here are a few pics of the festivities...

And we're off...

Well, we are behind on our blog posts... again. So, let me start by catching you up on our last few days in TX before we set out to our new destination... So here are 3 things you missed that we have to touch on before catching you up on our trip and adventures in Thailand...

1. Easter!!! We celebrated Easter with Mimi and Papa and had a blast! Corinne loved hunting her Easter Eggs.
2) Rangers Opening Day- Lynn and I were able to take part in my tradition of always going to Rangers Opening Day. The Rangers heard that I was in the crowd and obliged by giving us a thrilling come from behind victory! It was a nice send off for us. Plus we got to hang out with good friends!



3) Packing- It's hard to pack up your life for 3 years! We had 3 precious friends help us get all of our stuff into 10 bags. They worked hard and had a little fun too...
