FLYING WITH UNCLE TONY

 

We have liftoff!  The joy of flight, care of uncle Tony.  Ren, in particular, bonded with ole' Tone over the course of the visit.

  And did we mention just how awesome and beautiful Railay Beach is!?! 
Casting their magical spell, the cliffs are the southern-most tip of a range of limestone mountains - that stretch all the way along the Thai-Burma border.  The same mountain chain that we had enjoyed on our roadtrip way up north the week prior.

Above, Eam has the beach all to himself, as we wait for dinner to be served. Magic!

BKK JOURNALING

File under, 'What I did on my summer vacation'.  A silhouetted Ren scribbles away in our hotel window, with an amazing construction site in the background.  A deeply discounted stay at the riverfront Hilton made Bangkok in July almost bearable... especially the 5th floor pool that looked out to the river and the city beyond.

The writer again, this time showing off her new dress and purple hair braid from Pai.  Our little cutie.

BIRTHDAY AT THE FARM

 OK - been awhile.  We must be having too much fun ;)

These great pics are from a birthday party for Ren's friend Poppy waaay back in June.  The party was epic:  some painting, some eating, some rice planting, buffalo riding, amazing mud slide into a pond, and delicious cake, as I remember.

Our man Eam, living the dream, doing a little of the aforementioned water buffalo riding.  Fun!
