Corban's Birthday

Yesterday Corban turned 5! We went to a waterpark/amusement park to celebrate. This park is pretty new and was way nicer than we expected. Corban had a blast! He was very brave and went down the tall slides. He loved the lazy river and wave pool.
We also attended a co-workers wedding reception that evening. For timing issues the reception happened the night before the wedding (which takes place today) and she wanted us to attend the reception. I included some pictures of the dinner served. (I forgot to take pictures of the bride and groom--oops:) It's called a "Meal" and is traditional at most ceremonies/events and available at restaurants. I've posted pictures of it before. It looks gross but tastes good. It's pretty much a "must" to enjoy Indian food living here as far as attending parties/events. If you're not eating they ask why:) I always wait til the tortilla-like bread is served so i can scoop up the food (no silverware or napkins available) and i usually get asked why i'm not eating yet:) Each item on the banana leaf is served by a different person that comes around and puts it on your "plate". The bread is usually served last along with the rice. I'm still trying to figure out the whole napkin thing though. Even at Wonder la--the water park-- they didn't have ANY napkins in the dining area. I guess people just wipe their hands and mouths on their clothes:) They had a sink area to wash hands so i guess that's the alternative. It saves trees:)
