Vietnam Heritage Weekend

After six months of planning, Dillon International's inaugural Vietnam Heritage/Camp Weekend happened last Friday and Saturday. We were completely spent after the fact, but Sarah and our family had so much fun. About forty local and out of town Dillon families attended - even from Alaska and North Carolina. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to "meet" and visit with other moms I have gotten to know through blogging (which is really a strange thing to make friends through blogs and then meet in person only to realize that you are sort of still strangers to each other). Here is a small sampling of the pictures from the weekend.

Sarah sitting with her one of her favorite people, Luke - plus new friends Hillary and Sophie Le.

Avi Joy and Sarah wearing adorable polka dots.

Eli and Rhett making a VN flag.

Sarah's buddy Eli.

Avi Joy and Sophie Le at the rice dig.

Members of the local Vietnamese church came out to support us.

Lucy was my little buddy (for a while).

Dori Grace - the littlest 'little peanut' I've ever met.

Sarah working on a conical hat with Nana.

Emma working on a lantern.

Mini-reunion with Susie's girls..... Ella was adopted at the same time as Avi Joy and Sarah. Hannah is the big sister who traveled with her mom in our travel group.

Hannah, Sarah and Ella hang out at the house after camp.

It's quarter to 9pm and Hannah is in the kitchen helping Michael clean up all the dinner dishes.
