It's hard to imagine this was our 6th day in Thailand already! Time has flown, and maybe for the first time, the kids have yet to seriously complain about missing home! Praise the Lord!
Cynthia took us to Grace International School first thing in the morning for a tour. She volunteers there once per week and Maceo attends, so while they were busy, we received a tour from the admissions office. It is quite an amazing campus! There are multiple beautiful buildings, large hallways, open-air hallways, every classroom has lots of windows, and the general look and feel is very crisp, clean, and professional - it was quite something to see! They are a Christian school and although it is largely made of missionary families, there are kids with no church affiliation who attend and come from all over the world - it really is an international school! Within the school they actually have three (3) language options: English (the majority), Thai, and Korean. All of the non-Thai teachers and staff are missionaries who raise their support while the Thai staff are salaried. James and Juliet were a little interested and concerned that we were going to come here to teach and pull them out of Cedars...we told them "not yet" lol
After the school we took a Grab to the Royal Park Rajapruek which is a large gardens. It isn't quite Butchart Gardens, but there were some nice flowers and elements to it. It was also quite a large grounds so they have a mini bus that goes around every 15 minutes and allows people to hop-on-and-off. Everyone was allowed to pick 1 area they got to explore and even then we ended up being there for probably 3 hours!
For the afternoon we had a short pool time before Cynthia and Maceo picked us up to go out for dinner and Kung Fu Panda 4. All the kids were quite excited and it was good for them to be able to spend more time together.
