Grandma and Grandpa in Pictures

With only one day left in Vietnam, you can see that G & G are adjusting to local life and are ready to move here permanently...

We have LOVED having Grandma and Grandpa here and giving them a glimpse of our little world in Vietnam.  Now when we Skype with them over the next few months, they'll have a good picture of exactly what we are talking about and who our friends are.  Hopefully they won't return to Vermont with too many horror stories about their time here.  We'll miss them dearly.  Thanks for coming Mom & Dad!  WE LOVE YOU!

  2. AAAHHHHH....great pictures. Gotta give them a lot of kudos for their adventurous spirit! Thanks for the pictures...do believe, however, it would be wise for you to get YOUR version of the stories to us first. There are always at least two versions of every story! :) I'm sure the stories and their pictures will be awesome. I'm confident you were all the most gracious hosts!!!!! The bridge reminds me of the bridges at the Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco...but they didn't join Uncle Joe and me to the tea gardens. Maybe they'll go back with us to compare the Japanese bridges to these!!!! Continue to stay happy, healthy, and hyped on adventure. Love, Aunt Laura
