Its UN week at the boys' school.
All week they focus on different cultures with performances, storytelling, a big parade and a food fair. This is one of my absolute favorite weeks of the year.
Stars and stripes for the parade. I never felt so patriotic until we moved overseas.
Here are the boys and some American friends. The parade was done alphabetically so by the time they got to the US, Gage was tired and grumpy. And my camera battery died. Glad I had my phone!
Noah held that United States sign with a big smile on his face.
There were 55 countries represented in the parade, well actually 54 because Mexico was absent that day. The biggest countries were Canada, India, Korea, Japan, Australia and England with only one or two from countries like Belguim or Israel.

Our sweet neighbor, Eunbin, from Korea.
Another day was the food fair. The kids are supposed to choose things they've never had before... but I spy rice krispy treats and apple pie on Noah's plate. How could he resist? He also loved the Korean kimbab, the beef something something from Pakistan and the bread from Israel.
Gage ran straight to France for the creme brulee (so did I). Then he pin balled all over the gym from one country to the next with a big smile on his face.
Chocolate churro mustache from Spain.
Gage and buddy at the American table. Thanks to Jonette for the huge flag! It was perfect.
I brought apple pie. We also had hot dogs, hamburgers, smores, brownies, rice krisy treats, mac and cheese, popcorn, rootbeer floats, etc.

How fun! That's a neat tradition.
Your boys are darling and such good sports to try new things!! What a fun experience, and nothing says Valentine's Day like pink socks!! Love you guys!
What a fun experience for your boys! I would love to have been there to try all the different food...
Yep, it's true. We are moving in August and are very excited about it. I haven't disliked anywhere we have lived, so I anticipate LOVING it as soon as we are a little settled and caught up from jet lag, but I'm also trying not to be naive so I am mentally preparing myself for it being hard too.
This looks like so much fun, however I think that the American table has my number food wise! Your little one is growing up so fast! I miss you, and I specially missed you snowboarding, nobody is as fun as we are on the slopes.
