Bangkok

I am finally getting around to putting up pictures from our trip to Thailand. We have been home for almost a month, and you would think that with my husband traveling every week to Italy for work that I would of gotten it down already.
We had a fabulous time in Thailand! It was so different from anything that we have ever done. We were gone for about two and half weeks. We flew into Bankok from Munich with a stop in Abu Dhabi. Bangkok was our homebase for this trip. We went to Chaing Mai, Krabi and Cambodia, but I will be posting those pictures later.
Auburn did great on the trip. She did have a hard time on the first leg of the flight to Bangkok, but after that she was great. We found that she loves plain steamed rice. I always tried to sneak in veggies or some meat. She also adjusted to the time change pretty quickly as well. The first couple of nights we were all awake at 2:00am, but we finally got things turned around. Auburn was a star in Thailand, not as much as Egypt. We had people asking if they could take pictures of her. We were all healthy! I was a little worried being pregnant and with Auburn, but we did great!
This post has Bangkok and our day trip to Ayuthaya. I always end up putting pictures in the wrong order so our trip to Ayuthaya is first and then Bangkok.

Ayuthaya
We took a day trip from Bangkok to this city. The city is famous for the ancient ruins. We had a nice day wandering through the city from Wat to Wat. Here is Auby showing off her shades.
Bangkok
We toured the Grand Palace, Dusit park and a lot of really cool Wats. We also went to a snake farm where they take venom to make antivenom, some cool markets, and Ancient City.





The food was seriously amazing! We ate so much Pad Thai, spring rolls and other yummy food.

Prague

So this week Simon's parents were in town visiting, and we decided to take a little weekend trip. The night before we left we decided on Prague. None of us had ever been there, we didn't have to drive over the Alps, and it was relatively close only about 3 and half hours away. Before we left we had to make sure that the rental car could drive to the Czech Republic, because apparently not all rental cars can, they have to be a certain type. I still don't know why. To make our adventure even crazier, the bag with Simon and my stuff in it somehow didn't make into the car. We did not make this discovery until we were at our hotel. Luckily, Auby's stuff made it and we had our coats and gloves. We did however, miss our thermals it was very cold. I'm sorry that there aren't more pictures of Auburn. She was bundled up in her stroller. Prague is a really neat city and has a lot to explore. Here are some of pictures..... St. Nicholas Church, where Mozart once played t...

reading

Auburn has been asking me to teach her to read.  So, I decided to try and just see what would happen.  She just barely turned four and I didn't want to push her, but she was excited so we started.  I am also not a fan of German Kindergarten (preschool here) and I know that she needed some extra stimulation.  Thank heavens for the internet and a knowledgeable sister-in-law.  We have been doing word family crafts, a sight word caterpillar and working on phonics.  There are so many wonderful resources out there to make learning to read fun.  She is really reading now and loves it.  She picks up books and reads the words she knows and asks us for the ones she doesn't know.  She is sounding words out and totally amazes me.  Right now she will read to anyone that will sit down with her.  reading to Uncle Seth and Conley  This is a common scene at our house, and makes me so happy.

movie of our trip to Mexico

Simon made a video of our trip to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Since I haven't gotten around to posting about the rest of our trip (that happened a year ago), I am just going to post the link to the movie on youtube.  Hope you enjoy!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLnUgh7HfbM
