So sorry for the delay!! I have many excuses, but will save time for all of us and just update you on what's been going on the past few weeks.
Let's rewind and go back 2 weeks ago (the weekend of June 13th)
I spent the weekend at the orphanage with Ashley... and her room is in the baby house. Right behind the baby house is a "pasture" if you will that has cows, free range chickens, and a rooster. That rooster doesn't know when to crow. It will crow at all hours of the night. It decided to crow right outside our window at 5AM! If you don't know me very well, I take my sleep VERY seriously. I couldn't fall back asleep because that dumb rooster kept crowing. I was contemplating trying to hand make a sling shot, but couldn't find a rubber band... I also thought about throwing my flip-flops at it, but then I would have to climb the fence and get my shoes back.... this rooster had a death wish. I was not a happy camper.
But the day was very fun and quite busy!
The culprit.
The yummy Kao Soy for lunch. Mmmm. :)
In the afternoon, Ashley and I took the teen girls from the orphanage to the Horizon gardens. We rented bicycles and met up with Ashely's friend Angela and the teen girls that she works with. It was such a gorgeous but very warm afternoon.
Dolphin bushes.
Momma elephant with her baby.
We took bicycles around the gardens... such a fun afternoon!
At the waterfall with the girls.
Playing on the playground...we're never too old to play. ;)
Ash and I at the waterfall.
beautiful orchid.
crazy little cactus!
more orchids!!
Ash loves her roses!
Being goofy on the pirate ship in the middle of the rose garden.
I am a gaint compared our girls at the orphanage.. and I'm only 5'4"! eek!
Dragon topiary/fountain thing! Only in Asia....
After a great afternoon with the girls, Ashley and I had a relaxing evening out by the lakes of Doi Saket. I love how quiet it is out there. Ash goes running a few times a week around the lakes and I can understand why. It's so picturesque and hidden from everything.
My FAVORITE dinner.... Five Star Chicken and sticky rice, sweet corn, and Rotee for dessert. Yummy.
The cute gazebo where Ash and I had dinner.
The gorgeous scenic view!!
This is probably my favorite scenic picture I've taken while in Thailand. What a great way to end such a busy day.
"Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
your justice like the ocean depths.
You care for people and animals alike, O Lord."
