Krabi




This is the last post of the Thailand pictures. The last part of our trip we flew from Bangkok to a town in the south called Krabi. There isn't much to Krabi, but you can take boats out to see some incredible islands.



Ko Phi Phi Islands
Our first excursion was to the Ko Phi Phi Leh and Ko Phi Phi Don. We took a speed boat with some other travelers and went snorkeling, swam and enjoyed the fantastic scenery. Our boat stopped at different places on the two islands and we also did some at sea snorkeling. Simon and I just had to take turns. I had never snorkeled before and it was awesome. We saw some great fish and corel in the water. It took Auburn a few minutes to warm up to being the water, but then she loved it. The temperture of the water was perfect and the water was so clear.

Than Bokk
One day we headed up to a national park. We were kind of disappointed because it turned out to be quite small for the time we spent getting there, but it really was beautiful.





Auburn chowing down her rice. She would get so excited when she saw that bowl of plain steamed rice coming.

seriously delicious



Auburn actually took her first step in Thailand. This picture was taken right after it happened. She hasn't repeated it yet, but we (especially me and my pregnant belly) are hoping that she soon gets the desire to walk.





Koh Rok Nok
The other excursion we made by boat was to Koh Rok Nok. This island has no hotels or resturants on it. Our tour guides brought lunch in and we ate on the beach. On the beach we saw iguanas and snails. We also went snorkeling on this excursion, but we were able to spend a little bit more time on the beach.











Our sleepy beauty



A perfect end to a wonderful vacation.

How beautiful! What a wonderful break from freezing winter, huh?

That's so exciting about Auby walking... you are going to love it! Everyone said walking would be harder than crawling since they're so mobile, but that is NOT the case. Walking is so much better, especially when you're in public and they can't just get down and crawl!

What an amazing trip! And I can't believe how big Auburn is getting!

You have taken some AMAZING photos to document! Thanks, again, for letting me live through your blog and "visit" all these amazing places!!
It must be the year. Gianna isn't interested in walking at all. I mean, she wants us to walk her around, but don't even think about trying to let go and make her stand on her own! =)

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
