Thailand, Thailand

We are so happy to have had a break from our regular routine, the cold and the SMOG (have you read the news?) and be in Thailand!  We are going on our third week here.  The first week was in Bangkok and was very busy (Chris led music, did a great job but was very busy).  The kids had childcare classes they enjoyed and we got to see lots of old friends.  Our second week was an opportunity to develop ourselves and Chris and I really enjoyed learning more about parenting from a couple we greatly respect.  While we went to Thailand with Lucy sick- she threw up on the plane and five more days and ended up on antibiotics- but now are all relatively healthy.

Now we are on vacation and really enjoying the pool, the beach, the lack of schedule and hanging out with good friends.
 Two years ago Austin sat at the top of this slide for about 2 hours, trying to get up the nerve to go down (which he finally did with the promise of ice cream).  This year he has already been done it about 25 times and loves it!  He is becoming a water lover, though still needs help with the skills of swimming.
 And Bennett buddy likes the water, but usually wants to be in his ring.  He even went down the slide a couple of times if Chris would catch him, but has decided he had enough.

 Lucy bug likes the water too, but is content often to sit on the top step with a cup and dump it over and over.  She has accidentally gone under a couple of times and has been pretty unphased by it.
 Chris is continuing his tradition of find and opening coconuts...pretty yummy.

 Friends and next door neighbors again...the hotel "randomly" put us next door to these guys.  Just like old times!


Our hotel is right across the street from the beach...it is a great set up.
