List of Firsts

I just came across this cute list that i never posted. You know I love lists! 
Here is a list of hings that Adam saw for the first time in the US!   It’s so amazing the things that I didn’t realize Adam has never experienced in the Philippines. 
– A.Drinkable Water Fountain- He even said to quote- “We’re drinking dirty water!” Thank you Apple store for providing this amazing experience!
– Banners flying behind airplanes Adam loved this one! Also it seems like in the US you see that plane cloud line. I have no idea why you don’t see it in the Philippines and Adam was obsessed! Grandma Gertch explained this to him and for the rest of the trip he would insist all clouds were airplane lines! 
– A hole in a taxi between the back and front seat. Maybe this one is only in NY, but Adam was enthralled with the little space to pay the driver from the backseat.

– A backyard and a barbecue. Apartment living over here in Manila. Adam loved helping Randy BBQ. He especially loved using the BBQ tongs to pick up all the leaves and grass in the yard. Don’t worry, we usually always cleaned them before using them 🙂 

– A little stroller at Whole Foods. Oh boy, was this was a BIG hit.  Every day when we went (yes        we went every day) this never.stopped.being.old.  Adam had certain items he wanted in his card, usually corn and meat. Adam is apparently a middle aged midwestern man deep down. 
– Peaches and plums!! 
 – A Roller Coaster! We didn’t actually ride this as the boys are too little but just looking at amused the boys. 

– Actually an amusement park/boardwalk in general. 
For Malcolm it was his first time in the US and in Washington, New York and California!
PS- It’s funny reading this 8 months later and realizing how much older Malcolm is now. Back then at 18 months he was still more baby than toddler but now this list would be for Malcolm as much as Adam!
