A Taste of Singapore....With a Friend

Shortly after Firstborn arrived back home in Turkey for her month with us (before summer), her friend Mason came to visit. He only had about a week to visit our family and see where she grew up. He was a delight in every way, and we enjoyed having him here.

Interestingly, just before he arrived, we received an invitation for a Singapore Embassy party event...just a basic meet and greet for all the vendors who interact with the Singapore embassy. The invite was for CC and me, but he had his receptionist call and say...."Well, their daughter will be in town...and her friend...and she was born in Singapore...." They were thrilled to have her come with us!

So, off we went to celebrate Singapore! In Turkey!

Here is the ambassador, who is a new school parent. His son began Kindergarten at our school, and his teacher grew up in Singapore and overlapped with our time there. It's so neat when things all come together!

It was a fun night to dress up, be social, and get to celebrate the country of my daughter's birth...especially when her friend was here to see her homeland.
