Philippine Day

Today we went to Philippine Day and we had a great time. There was a lot of food to try, booths to look at and entertainment. The entertainment felt more like watching a talent show. There were a lot of different acts, only a quarter were traditional songs or dances. One of the best parts of the day was that we got to meet other families that are adopting from the Philippines. I am a member of an online group and we all met each other in person. In fact one of my good "on-line friends" became our "real friends" today. We carpooled together and then they stayed a little after at our house and we chatted. (Nice to meet you Rachel and Dave).

The day was fun and Liam got to go up on stage and sing. He was nervous at first, but he did fine and he is happy with his performance.

We borrowed this shirt (Barong) from someone in the group. Liam liked it a lot and wants us to buy him one when we go to the Philippines.

Philippine Day

We are going to go to a local Philippine Day in a few weeks to eat some good food and meet more people etc. I don't know if you remember last time we went to a Philippine activity Liam got up on stage. This time he was invited to sing with the children's choir, so he has to go to practice tomorrow to learn the two songs. You can listen to the two songs they are going to sing. One is all is Tagalog and it is called Bahay Kubo the other one is called One Small Voice. Wish him luck on his performance in a few weeks, this kid has guts. Not only is he getting up on stage in front of strangers, he is going to sing songs he doesn't know in another language. He'll be fine because there are 20 other kids up there also, so he won't be alone. However, Lance said he wouldn't touch the children's choir! I'll have pictures later.
