Happy Birthday to the King

Monday was the king's birthday. He is 84 years old. The kids had off school and everyone watched a celebration on the tv. It reminded me of the Macy's Thanksgivings parade, but it lasted alllll day. I made some good 'ol New Mexican bean soup and tortillas for lunch. In the evening I went with Sue, Jack, and Tessany to one of the public schools for a festival type thing in honor of the king. Everyone wore pink, which is the kings color, and lit candles. They sang the kings song and there was some traditional Thai dancing. The kings birthday is also fathers day. Tessany brought Jack a fathers day present. The queen's birthday also serves as mothers day which in April, I think.



They were putting these weird globe things on the 'alter'. One gold for the king, one silver for the queen.

There were soooo many bugs!
