Caleb and Aaron going to their first day at Illumination preschool
One of our first rides on scooters!
The friendly geckos that help take care of the ants in our homes
Not sure what this one is...
This beauty likes to sneak into our bathroom every once in awhile...
we think they're coming through the hole where the pipe is under the sink. Nice surprise
when you go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Our new "Harley" in Salatiga!
The boys are so excited to have helmets and our own scooter.
There are plenty of kids out and about in our neighborhood.
Thankfully swords and light sabers don't need to speak the same lanugage.
Neither do scooters or bikes!

We have a nice, gradual hill right outside our house that is
perfect for riding their scooters down.

The ladies lining up for a "eat the biscuit for a string" game.
Trying to be the first one to eat their hanging snack, tasted like fried shrimp...
This lovely competition consisted of grabbing eels out of a tub of water and running
to the other end of the grass to put it into a coke bottle. Yes, they were alive and squirmy.
No, we didn't actually do it because Tyler couldn't (knee injury) and I was a chicken!

They didn't want to go in easily

The view from a lovely restaurant in town
Rice fields and the burning of the husks
So beautiful
Caleb and Aaron playing in the field
This was a perfect tree to climb in, but there must have been a caterpillar in it because
Caleb had a horrible rash on his arm and leg afterwards. The fuzz on their skin tends to cause this rash if you touch them.

A group of Asians LOVED Jocelyn and kept trying to get
their pictures with her. Her first experience in stardom...she didn't like it so much.

restaurants with them.
