October Break - Penang

This year, Marz and Ted were both on varsity volleyball, so they both had the opportunity to travel over the October break.  In order for Chris and me to see them, we needed to get to Malaysia before they left.  So we headed to Penang on a Thursday and were able to spend the whole weekend with them.  Well, almost... Ted was invited to participate in a basketball camp that Saturday and Sunday, but we got to spend the mornings with him.

Ted relaxing after a taxing day at school. ;)  He was probably waiting for volleyball practice to begin...

While Ted was at his camp, Marz wanted to do a bit of exploring.  So the first stop she took us was to an old military fort in Penang.  Fort Cornwallis.

The fort's chapel.

Gabby got herself in BIG trouble and was locked away!

After checking out the fort, we walked over to a park where artists from all over the world, get to paint a bear for their country.

Can you believe I forgot to upload the USA's bear picture?!?!  Well, the next time I upload, I will have a space saved here for it...





Indonesia

Marz with Germany... of course! ;)

After the park we went to Old Georgetown and ate at a fun German restaurant.

The owner was a crack up! :)

Traditional German cuisine.

Then Marz and Ted were gone...  So we had to find some things to do to finish out the week.  We were staying in Penang because Gav couldn't go back into boarding until Sunday.  So we found something for Chris to do that he would enjoy! ;)

Gab and I took in a movie while Chris and Gav went to a different one.  If I hadn't been watching a movie, I would have thought we were locked in a freezer!!!  It was SOOOOO COLD!!!

Then Chris took Gav and Gab to a outdoor obstacle course... I may post those pictures in another post... or I may not... :)

Then we went bowling...  We haven't done that for ages!!  We actually bowled for two hours and paid only the equivalent of $15 UDS!!  Cheap as chips, as the Aussies would say...

And then our time was done in Penang.  Next time we see the kids will be in Singapore for Thanksgiving!  Can't wait!! :)
