Mornings Abroad

Every Monday morning we take a trip at story time. Today we visited Indonesia. Here our little friend from West Java is wearing a traditional ceremonial dress.


After watching a short film on Bali, West Java, and Jakarta I am totally sold on visiting Bali.

They brought this wonderful dish of birthday food. The middle was rice surrounded by chicken, potato strings, soy beans, egg strings, and potato balls. I was not familiar with the way it was prepared but nonetheless it was all delicious.


Sorry, some of the pics aren't great, I was using my camera phone and Grabby Graham wanted to use it too. Some of the children were adventurous enough to try it.


Zach declined and headed for the regular snacks and juice. Ethan, no surprise, loved the rice and then went for the juice and biscuits.


Then the children lined up to play a game. They had to eat the cake hanging from the string without their hands.


Zach really struggled and then gave up. It was probably good that he did, because in the end the reward wasn't very tasty. He would have been pretty mad.


He wanted me to show him how to get the job done right. I was successful.


Another great activity out of the 110 degree heat... but it's a dry heat. Haha! As if it mattered.
