Drummond Crew: Away for awhile...

So in May we had to leave our home due to unrest in the area. We spent about 7 weeks "on the road," sleeping in about 9 different beds...however we did have some pretty memorable moments while our fam was nomadic.

We had already planned a week in Vietnam with Mom & Dad D before we went mobile. We spent one day in an amusement park there in Saigon. The gardens were beautiful so we tried to get family pix, even with the boys' hair pasted to their heads in sweat :)

Lij & Dad enjoying the bumper cars:

As we were heading out of the park, there was a guy making amazing figurines from playdough. We're always impressed at the Vietnamese ability for great detail!

Mom & Dad were so great to be with the boys while we went on a date one afternoon. We ended up at the tallest building in Vietnam with a 360 view of Saigon!

And at the bottom of that huge building was a sign we just couldn't pass up...

So fun to run into Uncle Tim & Aunt Jody in the airport as we were leaving Vietnam!

We got back to Indo & had a couple day team retreat & then our yearly field conference. Here's 3 of our team's 6 boys enjoying the McD's slide:

Lazy afternoon at a playground after lots of field meetings...

After the conference we took the weekend to play - beginning with a minibus ride to grab lunch at a yummy Italian restaurant:

One of many great things about Indo is their love of babies, especially white ones. We were freed up to manage the other 3 boys while our babies were loved on :)

Even had time to snap a few pix of our 3 little men!

Next day was a water park that Lij could really enjoy for the 1st time:

Wasn't long afterwards, we boarded yet another plane & Lij found the best hiding spot ever...

Priceless video :)

And our drive back home over not-yet paved roads during nap time:

Poor Saiah had fallen completely over by the end!

Being back home brought new fun like Saiah's 1st bike ride in his own seat:

Amazingly in the last week a "county fair" type thing has sprung up...

Our date this past week included a campfire, s'mores & 5 curious boys:

These guys had never tried marshmallows before, it was hilarious watching them try to eat them w/o getting sticky! Notice the one boy who only has 1 soccer cleat on, he was sharing the other one with his friend so they would each be able to play...
