Our internet has been out for almost a month!

Well, we have lots of catching up to do.

Nana sent lots of goodies!

Thank you Nana!

Recently we went to a parade.

We were all hot and sweaty, but had a blast.

Well, Lydia decided she does not like fire works. Other than that we had a great time.

Last week we took a trip to Phuket! SO FUN!

There is something so delightful about waking up in a hotel. Here are the girls in our good morning cuddle mode.

We were able to get the pool and beach experience!

Lydia found beautiful flowers and passed them out.

Elephants came around to visit. Our little elephant lover was scared. She cried when the elephant came close. Our friend Laura got a big wet kiss from the elephant. It was pretty funny.

One night we ate at a nice restaurant overlooking the waves crashing against the rocks below.

It was the ideal atmosphere!

Meet Laura! She is staying with us for a while. We are so glad to have her!

Last Friday we went on a hike with our cell group.

None of us knew what we were getting in to.

This hike was more like a climb.

Normally I would never post pictures like this. I was beyond exhaustion. My shirt was dripping with sweat.

But this one had to be documented. I can't believe we did it!

We made it to the top!

And after a total of 5 hours, we made it back down again.

This pic doesn't really say it all. Elli is trying really hard to pull up. I am still trying to catch it on camera.
