100th day of school for the year

In honor of the 100th day of school for the year, Lex's kindergarten class made crowns and "100" glasses. He was so excited about what he made. He wore them to bed and slept with them on. Below is what Mom and Dad discovered after he had been asleep for an hour or so.

Lex graduates from Preschool

Lex is the 5th one in from the middle on the front row. Lex's parents thought that his preschool graduation was fancier than their high school graduations.

Lex will start kindergarten in August. The preschool was at the rec center. This was all of the a.m. classes for the graduation.

Our trip to India

What an amazing place! Pictures just don't do justice to that which we experienced. In looking back over the pictures, we wish we could have better captured all that we saw.

Taj Mahal

Train ride to the Taj

Fred, Janet, and Moriya in an auto rickshaw. For the most part, this was our way of getting around. We would barter for the fare and end up paying 20 to 4o rupees. Depending on distance. (That's $.40 to $.80) Not too bad!

There were dogs everywhere. They mostly slept during the day.

The women work right along with the men.

We rode this camel. The battery died right after this picture was taken so we were unable to get a picture of us on it.

Elder and Sister Weeks

Moriya asked if she could take their picture.

Bryan got an Indian haircut and a massage afterwards. Total Cost $2.60. That masseuse worked Bryan over...he's still talking about it!

We went to a lot of marketplaces, here is one example.

The world famous Karim's. Moriya can testify of this. Her rumbling stomach for a week after we got home won't let her forget the place (Bryan wimped out on eating much there and his stomach thanks him for it).
