Songkran Festival

Grandma Noi took us to the temple for the annual water festival.  The little girls dressed up in traditional Thai dresses that Noi had brought back from Thailand.

We ate lots of food, then had a parade with all the ladies dressed up.

 

There was traditional Thai music and dancing.  We used water that we poured on the monk's hands as some sort of blessing.  Everyone even sang Happy Birthday to Kaitlyn.

I wished I knew more about what all was going on but since the whole thing was in Thai, it was difficult.  I also worry that I'm doing something disrespectful whenever I'm around the monks.  But the kids don't really notice and had fun with each other playing under the trees.
