Fishing at Pasir Mukti

Today we went fishing at Pasir Mukti with another family from our church.  We ended up catching 5 or 6 fish after a couple of hours.  We caught several carp and a bawal hitam.  Then we had them cooked up at the onsite restaurant.  A great way to spend a saturday morning!

 

 

 

 

p.s.  As you can see, Julia is not in the pictures as she was taking them.  I need to be better about grabbing the camera from her and taking shots with her in it.  :)

 

 

SIS Family Day at Taman Mini

My employeer had a family day at Taman Mini this last weekend.  We had a fun and full day.  Here are some of the highlights:



As we arrived at Taman Mini, there was a gathering of Bob Marley loving, dread-lock wearing, Indonesians that raced stretched and lowered Vespas.  Gotta love their ability to make a functioning (sorta) moped out of scrap metal.  :)

Once inside, we made our way to the Oil and Gas Museum where the activities included, a tour, batik making, games, and food.  We even won some movie tickets as door prizes. 

 

One the back side of the museum, there was a 1940's wireline truck that my company donated after retiring the truck in 1992.  I thought it was pretty neat.

 

 

We finished the trip by a walk around one of the bird parks.  The kids took pictures with the birds and we saw lots of cool Indonesian birds like this hornbill.  We have been to Taman Mini twice now, and we have only scratched the surface.  There is nothing "mini" about this place!
