We enjoyed our time out in the countryside. The weather was nice and warm, as were the people!

Emily ran right up to these girls, and into the arms of the one holding her! They took her inside their house and gave her peanuts and sunflower seeds. Once they saw that she was eating the peanuts shells and all they shelled them for her and gave them to her. They invited us to stay for lunch. The girl holding Em here is 13!

This is rice harvesting season. We got to chat with them while they showed us their methods of smacking the bushels against the side of these wooden boxes.

Emily enjoyed seeing all the animals out there too.... lots of water buffalo, chickens, ducks, and even a pig, which she oinked at quite a bit.
