Spring break

We are officially on spring break now. It began yesterday at 5pm although all the Chandlerites were gone by 11 am, which gave us some extra hours. We headed to the bus depot late yesterday afternoon to get our bus tickets to KL and then decided to head in to Georgetown to Prangin Mall to buy a new camera. Prangin was hopping with activity but our camera store near Komtar was closed. We ate great Thai food and fruit smoothies and returned home. Today, after church we enjoyed Indian food with friends and then Tim took off back to Georgetown. We now have a new camera for our exciting adventure to Vietnam. We take the night bus to KL and then shuttle to the airport for our 6:30 am flight to Hanoi. Lana won't be accompanying us as she made an emergency trip to Germany to help out a friend but Bronwyn is still coming. We are also meeting our friends, the Mahoney's who flew there today for a meal or two. We return late on Friday so it's a quick trip but one we are greatly anticipating.
Here are some pictures of happenings in the past week or so..... The Boomerang at the waterpark. We took the kids on an early release Friday so there were no line-ups to content with and everyone played hard!
Happy girls!

The Bubble is the best kid entertainment around. You climb up the Bubble with the ropes and then the water starts to rain down from the mushroom making everything slippery. If you jump up and down at the top the whole thing shakes and sooner or later someone goes zipping down off it to the bottom pool. For the guys, its like "king of the castle" to see who can stay on top the longest.

Soaking wet Chandlerites!

One Saturday night, we gave the kids money to eat out. Of course the high schoolers all made plans to go out in groups because they can ride the public buses here. But our poor middle schoolers were stuck with us taking them somewhere. We headed to Northam Stalls because there is a great variety of local and Western cuisine and because you can eat along the oceanfront.



Sunday afternoons can be long and boring so we drove out to the fruit farm for ice kacong a few weeks back. It was hot and humid at the school but up in the mountains at the farm, it was cool and drizzling rain. The ice kacong contained watermelon, lychee, sour sop, honeydew and mango along with the sarsi syrup spread on top. It was refreshing for sure!
