Lucy and I are visiting with my sister and her family in Thailand now! We arrived on Monday night, after a 30 hour trip (21 hours of it on planes), and will be here for about 2 weeks. Lucy was such a trooper on all 3 flights- she just had one 15 minute melt down, and otherwise was relatively cheerful throughout. I packed tons of snacks and toys, as well as a portable DVD player, which all helped. Plus, the flight attendants and passengers were really sweet with her.
We're having such a wonderful time here with Caitlin and John, and their sons Sam (almost 3) and Jeff (5 months). Lucy and Sam get along very well, and like being silly together. They played footsies under the table the other day at dinner, and today had a blast spinning around in circles and giggling. Jeff is a real cutie- very strong and attentive, and definitely eager to be moving around like his big brother!
The weather is gorgeous- low 80s and sunny. It'll be very hard to return to our cold weather at home, I'm sure! We've had some amazing Thai food- one of my favorite cuisines. So far we've been to the night safari/zoo (tons of animals, but the highlights were the monkeys, peacocks, hippos, and the elephant- it was outside at the end and Lucy got to touch it), visited the botanical gardens, took a horse and buggy ride around temple ruins, and fed some truly massive fish at a local park. It's also been fun playing with the sprinklers and swings and sandbox in the backyard.
Overall it's been super relaxing so far. Caitlin and John have a wonderful full time cook/helper, so we haven't had to worry about cooking or cleaning at all, and have extra help with the kids. And I'm so enjoying having quality time with my sister.
I've scheduled some posts to appear while we're away, so you won't miss us too much. And I hope to maybe get a few new pictures or videos up while we're here, or definitely after we get back.
