Our First Meal in the States!

There it is, our first meal. My little cousins, Kenzie and Reece, came with my parents to pick us up from the airport. My parents neighbor Lawrence came up and we ate chicken noodle soup, (Gideon got sick and was throwing up on the airplane on our long flight), watermelon, mango cheese and crackers, and bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. We ended up sleeping for 14 hours the first night we got here. The second night we only slept 4.
The second day here we took our dog, Filos, and my brothers dog, Kali, out to the desert for a little walk. We are loving the weather here. Its around 90 degrees but not sweating all the time. My dad comes home from work turns on the air-con and freezes us out though.
Filos followed Gideon everywhere. If Gideon ran he would run.
Our third day here we ate this beautiful chocolate velvet cheese cake my mom made for us. I had asked her to make it for us way back in December when I saw it posted on my facebook home page. She practiced one time before we got home to make sure it tasted good, and she said this second time was even better than the first. It was heavenly!

We are loving being here. We are always comparing Cambodia to the US. I asked my mom today if she gets tired of hearing all the things we don't have in Cambodia or things they do differently in Cambodia. She told me she loves it. Of course we miss all of our friends in Cambodia. Hope you all are enjoying your summers!
