Thai Food Festival

We had quite the food adventure this morning! My friend Helenka and her husband, Rami, started a Meetup group called "Exciting adventures don't have to end when you have kids!" and they come up with all kinds of fun activities to do with little ones.  I know Helenka from our baby play group and her daughter, Maya, is just 2 days older than Abby. Maya was born on 10/11/12 which is the memorable birthday Robert was hoping for once Abby missed her due date. *sigh* 

Back to the food. Every Sunday, foodies-in-the-know descend upon the Thai Buddhist Temple to eat the amazing meals that are prepared. Look at all of the gold! Isn't this place unique and beautiful?

We are sad we didn't know about this place before now. It was packed! It was a very hot day and Abby's little cheeks got very pink, but fortunately we found a table close to the river with an occasional cool breeze.

I know this doesn't look incredibly appetizing, but I promise it was delicious! They had run out of Pad Thai by the time we got through the line, so we had fried rice with each entree. They're all curries and I can't remember the exact names, but the top left is a pumpkin curry (Abby loved it!), the bottom left has potatoes and chicken and some type of peanut sauce, and the dish on the bottom right is a red curry. The veggie and pork rolls and sweet pastry were also a hit. 

Next time we will try some of the barbecued meat kabobs, spring rolls, and fresh salads. Then when it gets cooler outside, we're excited to try a big bowl of pho. 

Here are our friends Helenka, Rami and baby Maya. Maya eats anything and everything!

Our poor little fair skinned beauty was hot but she was a great sport and loved eating the fried rice and pumpkin curry.

Here's Maya going to town.

Come visit us, friends, and we will take you to the Thai Food Festival!
