March Madness- Day 2

Our student "David" asked us to go with his family to a picnic today. So we left at 9am ready to go fully equipped with our badminton rackets, coloring books, coats, diapers.....Not quite knowing what to expect!
2 1/2 hours later it looked like we found our picnic spot. Looked similar to the spots an hour back, but they wanted to take us to the "perfect" spot. Andy enjoyed some kite flying with his student while there is still no rain.
Meanwhile, everyone else gets to work unloading the vehicles and preparing the food.
These aren't the typical pack some cold meat sandwhiches and chips picnic. They bring their little grills, make kabobs, salads, and dolma (rice stuffed cabbage leaves basically)
Ladies here.....Men overthere.....
Just when everyone finished eating and we poured our cup of chai it started sprinkling. Zander was just starting to make friends
But we decided to pack up after it starting raining pretty good. So started making our way back to Duhok. Where both lanes of traffic were going same way. Normal? Only in Kurdistan!
Amidst the tired drive home. David asked about Baptism. Andy feel asleep. So I was talking to him about the difference between infant and believers baptism. He had a puzzled look on his face. "No like what they do in the hospital when a baby BOY is born." OHHHHHHH..... that's not called baptism. That's called circumcision. Slight difference! David is always a good question asker though!
