Gran & Grump come to Alice (again)

 Still one of our favorite places to visit is the Desert Park - gets more fun as the boys get older.

Going to see the roos

I want you to CARRY me, not ride in the stroller!!!!!

Braden doesn't really want to race...

Look what we found!
First day of school!

Jamie's teacher Mrs. Wylie in the polka dots - we love her.
 The day before Gran & Grump left, Grump and I went on an early morning hot air balloon ride.  My camera wasn't great with the low light, but it was amazing.

Koh Samui, Thailand

 We spent the last part of our Southeast Asian vacation on the beach in Koh Sumai, Thailand.  We stayed at a gorgeous resort that greeted us with drinks and leis on our arrival.

Checking In

Trying to catch fish and crabs



We visited many of the tourist attractions available on the island, we visited tourist park and saw elephants, monkeys, water buffalo and let fish nibble our toys; we visited the Golden Buddha; Lamai Bay; a Butterfly Garden and a few other places.
