Bring Your Kid to Work Day!

Yesterday was we celebrated Take Our Daughters And Sons To Work Day (you know any excuse for a party in this neck of the woods!), I thought it was Bring Your Kid to Work Day but maybe that didn't sound fancy enough. Whatever the name, the Embassy went all out and organzied a lovely little afternoon for all children of the Embassy. I think there was something like 18 kids signed up. They visited several sections of the Embassy to learn what each one does:

Meet and Greet - with the Ambassador
Consular Section - they got a passport and an entry stamp
Public Diplomacy - how to speak in public (I can just guess how O did in this section)
Budget and Finance - they got one dollar and were shown how to deposit it in the bank
Health Unit - WOOT! We listened to hearts and looked in ears and talked about tooth brushing...they also each got their height and weight recorded. Orion weighed 42.1 pounds and was 44 inches tall!

The afternoon ended with snacks and certificates!
