Welcome to Cambodia, Ritchey Family!!!

Our good friends from the states decided to spend Christmas and New Years with us…and we couldn’t be more honored!!!  We loved EVERYTHING about having them here…they were worried 2 weeks would be too long…we were worried it wouldn’t be enough!  Let me tell you…the days flew by…I think the only thing we didn’t get to do was get Teegan on a moto…

We did the boat cruise on the day they arrived…talk about TROOPERS!!!  They had just travelled 18+ hours, stayed up and went out on the boat with us!!!

Little Z was a trooper too…he was SO excited to have “Kels and Teeg” here…they are his “best friends” (he asked me before they came if he could call them that!)…he plugged away everywhere we went…and this is what happened!

We played a lot of basketball and soccer; rode around on things in the yard and threw quite a few balls!

practiced our squatting skills…it really is a skill…to squat flat footed and sit like that for any period of time is amazing…it’s just not comfortable, but people can sleep like that here…
