All Thailand



Airsickness bag chef's hat.

We're in Bangkok, Thailand!



"Cow!!!!"
Phil and Madeleine went exploring near our resort in Chiang Mai.  
They found cows.

Lilian became a crawler the day after we arrived in Thailand.
She celebrated by getting a mohawk.

Always good food to be had.

Our resort at Springfield Resort in Hua Hin.  We got the suite this year.

Maddie takes a dip after lunch.  This pic is taken from our table.


Lilian absolutely loved Thai living.


Last year Natasha and I had our picture taken in this spot pregnant.  
Here's the result a year later.


Gramps on vacation.

Dolphin Bay




We were watching one of the staff at our resort cut coconuts out of the trees on the property.  Pretty soon he brought one cut open with a straw for Madeleine.

Our bungalows.  
Steiners on one side and Taylors on the other.

Evening meals were our big meal of the day.  They were almost always at these little beach side restaurants.  Cheap and delicious Thai.




Phil and Madeleine heading to Monkey Island.


This little guy was especially friendly.  
He was about to give Madeleine a special tooth filled greeting.  
She's convinced he was saying, "Hi!"

Depending on who you ask, 
we spent our afternoons collecting starfish, prawns, hermit crabs or eating sand.


Lilian's favorite way to ride around.

In Bangkok at a guest house, Madeleine displays her mom's shopping spree. 2 new dresses, flip flops and a bracelet.

Lilian's favorite part of Bangkok.  The wardrobe.

Bangkok Zoo.

This is one of the only pictures where you can see where Maddie got a black eye.  She was at the perfect height for a good hit from the door knob when her friend rushed in the bathroom.

Second best thing to the beach.

A really fun vacation.  We can't wait to do it again next year!
