On one of our cultural days (we’ve proclaimed Saturdays as cultural days) we went to a park. Anna attracted a bit of attention, as you can see in the photos. The kids enjoyed the park. In fact, we all did…until Isaiah crawled through a pile of feces in the playground. Fortunately he didn’t have it all over him, but our time at the park ended shortly after that. It was one of those moments I have to remind myself this could easily happen in America, it’s not just a Cambodia thing.

We told Becca we would buy her a bike once we got to Cambodia. Two weeks ago we went to a bike shop and got Becca a nice solid Japanese bike. We were told that though Chinese bikes are really pretty (pink, etc), they break. We didn’t know what Becca would think of a non-pink bike, but the pink basket and the bell they installed made her day. Becca loves riding her bike in our courtyard and on our street : happy girl = happy mommy!
