Family Friends

On Labor Day we spent the evening at my folks. Some friends of my Mom and Dad stopped by for a visit on their drive from Las Vegas to their home in Florida. Mom and Dad became friends with Noi and Terry while Dad and Terry were stationed in Thailand. (My, that was over thirty years ago). There friendship continued after both families transferred to Japan. Noi and Terry have three daughters about the same ages as my sisters and me.

Noi and my Mom are both from the same village in Thailand.
Here are the two Air Force buddies. The boys enjoyed spending time with their cousins (and their cousins toys). Thomas, Philip and Alex all went to a Japanese Anime/Cartoon Expo in Dallas. While there the boys bought a couple of wooden swords. Nicholas and Carter think their cousins are pretty cool.
Here is the high schooler Thomas and his 8th grader brother Philip. Have I told you that Eric really likes watermelon? Grandpa was impressed by how excited Eric gets when the watermelon is being cut.
Pssst. You don't have to eat with your hands. You might be able to convince someone to feed you.
Yep. Grandma's are always spoiling the little one. Nope. He isn't full yet.

Good pictures! Eric sure does like his watermelon! Looks like your parents are enjoying getting to visit with their long-time friends.
