Christmas in Sri Lanka

We just returned from two weeks in Sri Lanka!  It was a wonderful, relaxing vacation.  Two other families from our school also went so Jack had friends to play in the waves with.  We spent most of the time on the beach, digging in the sand or splashing in the Indian Ocean.  We also took a three-day journey inland to a National Park for a safari.


On Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, the hotel had dinner on the beach, with a bonfire and grilled turkey and lots of fruit and vegetable carvings.


A traditional Sri Lankan band entertained us.  They came over to sing right to Jack several times and even let him try the drum.

Yes, Rob is holding the bonfire in his hand :)
On Christmas morning, we discovered that Santa had filled Jack's stocking in the hotel room!  Somehow Grandma Karin sent a crocheted elephant and dragon with Santa.  He also brought Lightning McQueen underwear and playdoh.


More to come...
