While on Vacation.....

We have eaten lots and lots of ice cream!

Spent almost the whole day in the pool!

Or lounging by the pool!

Swung on our swing.

Loved on the grandchildren.

While We Wait...

While we wait on Baby Butter to arrive we have been spending A LOT of time at different parks. My kids LOVE to swing since we don't have any swings in Asia. We are enjoying the "warm" weather in February.

Swings, Swings and more Swings!

Kayleigh and Zeb love to be outside. At home in China we have a small little playground with slides. However, I have never seen a swing set or swings at a playground in China. They may have them somewhere but not to my knowledge. Kayleigh's favorite thing to do is swing. A little over a year ago, when we lived in Thailand for Zeb's birth, she would swing everyday for hours if we let her. So my goal this summer, while in the states, is take her to the park to swing as much as she can. Zeb loves it too! There are a lot of really neat playgrounds near both of our parents houses so we have been taking advantage of the swings. Here are some great pictures of the both of them. I love the bottom picture. Zeb has started to want to walk around holding our hands which means that he needs to wear shoes when we go outside. So far this hasn't gone over very well. This was the first day I put shoes on him. His reaction you ask? He continued to hit his shoes and screamed in frustration because he couldn't get them off. Lets hope I can convince him to wear shoes before we return to China. I can only imagine what the grandmas would say if I took him outside without shoes on.

Thailand Trip Day 5

We tried to go to the airport museum this day but we could not get a hold of the manager to allow us access to the museum. The museum is located on the air force base in Chiang Mai and we need special permission to enter to see the old airplanes. So, after a valiant try, we decided the kids would like to play at the park down the street where we were staying. Below are the pictures from that time and the experience they had was exciting.

Kayleigh enjoying her favorite past time. We believe she would swing an entire 24 hours straight if we let her.

Zeb thoroughly enjoying the Thailand weather. It was about mid-70s while we where there during the day. Zeb also hates wearing socks, so it was perfect for him.

There was this cool little swing that could hold about 6 kids at a time and it resembled a bus or a train. Zeb wanted to participate with the big kids and he had a blast just looking at them from behind.

Prepping for the pool! After everyone gets greased up, we're off!

Zeb is not sure what to think of the ice cold water he is playing in. Part of him wants to jump in and kick his little legs until he gets tired and part of him is saying "no way am I getting into that!"
