If you have been reading this blog for a while you know that each year we make a top ten list of our favorite memories for the year. I also then take the list and turn it in to a photo book that we have as a keepsake to someday (hopefully) tell our kids about our great adventures. You can read past entries here, here, and here. We are a bit behind this year, but the list is complete. Last year, we only had nine memories - this year we made up for that with eleven. Here are our favorite memories from the past year:11. learning speed charades from Claire (the Dutch, Irish, English girl in Mozambique), which we have imported to America for game nights with new friends
10. attending the International Folk Art Market with my family in New Mexico. Folk Art is my favorite kind of art and this market has quite the collection from around the globe.
9. Busch Gardens roller coasters and getting caught in the rain
8. Sheri learned to cook and transformed in to Pioneer Woman. It's amazing what one can accomplish when necessary for survival. The good thing is, it has stuck. Now that we have more convenient options - cooking (and eating) foods with raw, fresh ingredients is still part of our daily lives.
7. trolley tour in Fredericksburg on slavery and slave places
6. attending the Laotian festival at the local Buddhist temple
5. exploring Colonial Williamsburg - the origins of our nation
4. a pit stop in Amsterdam while moving continents
3. visiting friends and family on home leave in 2010
Our top memories for the past year are related to times spent with a family that is special to us - the Wonderful Whitlocks. They made the list last year, too. Hopefully, they will be on the list for many years to come...
2. fourth of July celebration in Mozambique with the Whitlocks thanks to the U.S. Embassy and the American School
1. getting stuck in sinking sand with the Whitlocks on a visit to Zavorra Beach, Mozambique
