Songkran (click for more info) happened a few days ago. Well, really, in the bigger cities here in Thailand, they celebrate for three and sometimes five days straight! In our teensy-weensy town, the water fight lasts one day - but, man, it is FUN!
Here's a look into the action (I took a drive right outside our little street and locked the doors to make sure nobody pelted me and my camera with a bucket of water!)...
 |
| Run and Huy, dressed in classic Songkran attire |
 |
| They're ready! |
 |
| The first shot. |
 |
| Run snuck around to our neighbor's house to get a surprise shot...this poor, unsuspecting boy was dutifully washing his father's truck...when Run strikes! |
 |
| After study-time, Daddy joins in...and they walk up the road to the main event! |
 |
| In our town, the place when EVERYONE plays is 7-eleven, the land of Slurpees. |
 |
| The sidewalks were full of people hanging out. |
 |
| People get on their motorbikes and pile into pick-up trucks to drive down the road...squirting others, and getting drenched, themselves. |
 |
| These kids had colored talcum powder that they smeared onto unsuspecting passers-by. My doors were locked! Haha! |
 |
| The road was full for a few miles... |
 |
| And then, I spotted them! Treav and the boys were in the back of our friend's pick-up, having a BLAST (no pun intended)! |
 |
| "Get Mommy's car!!!" |
 |
| Later that afternoon, we headed to some friends' house in a nearby town to play some more! |
 |
| Our friends had some Thais and foreigners over to eat MEXICAN food. The kitchen was full! |
 |
| ...so was the eating room. |
 |
| The boys and M, another foreigner, going to town with the water guns. |
 |
| They blessed the food... |
 |
| ...and BOY! Did we have a feast, or what!?! |
 |
| Fun, food, and friends; a great end to a great day! |
