Big news in the Haney household...I am an aunt! Harrison Price Davis was born to Emily and Mark right on his due date February 3. It is hard to be far away, but we have skyped with him once and I am sure will do it more. We are excited and send our biggest congratulations to the Davis family.
We have had lots of opportunities to experience God's creation on this trip and are enjoying all that we see. This beach is full of tiny and not-so-tiny hermit crabs. Several days there were so many starfish that were in the tide pools. And no trip here is complete without an elephant ride. Only two more days and we are not ready to go. The other day Bree and Austin were talking and Bree said she wished she could stay here 100 more days and Austin said he wished we could stay in Thailand for one year. I suppose it is possible to have too much vacation, but it is hard to imagine going back to the cold in two days. However we are very thankful for this time.
This stingray was washed up on the beach, right near our resort.
We started out watching the elephant show...we saw elephants paint, ride a bike, play soccer and basketball and swirl hula hoops on their trunks. Lucy was pretty excited. Here she is making the elephant noise and swinging her "trunk".
Then we took our ride. Bennett was especially happy to redeem himself since two years ago he was too scared and refused to ride. Austin got to climb on the head and ride that way for a few minutes...but he was a little scared and was back on the seat in a minute or two.
Daddy and Lucy's elephant.
At first Lucy was not so sure about this trunk grabbing bananas (maybe she also thought the banana was for her to eat???) but soon she wanted to feed it and was clambering for more as she held out her banana willingly to the little guy.
