Love those Traditional Costumes...

One of the highly anticipated events at school is International Day. We didn't think to bring Pilgrim, Native American or Southern Belle outfits with us and didn't want to just use the traditional dress of the average American kid of jeans and a Disney shirt, so Ashlynn was a cowgirl and Veronica was a hula dancer. Their school is truly international and their were a lot of great costumes. Ashlynn's the only American in her class and Veronica has just 2 others, 1 of which was born in Holland. Many of the children are true expats moving from country to country every few years. Shown here is Iyala who was born in London, but only knows her parents' native Kenya as a place to vacation. Ashlynn had to give her first speech, a culture talk to explain where she's from. We just love that the girls are being exposed to so many different cultures.
