Tourists in Thailand

While we've been waiting for our baby's arrival, we've been enjoying time to rest, read, home school, sleep in, catch up on communication, rest, and read some more. We've also spent a few days out, enjoying some of the many things Chiang Mai has to offer.

Here we are at a botanical garden, where the kids got a big kick out of feeding the fish
(sorry, sideways again!)

The garden also had a (very) mini-zoo...

... and fun paddle boats. (But have you ever tried to paddle-boat 8 1/2 months pregnant?!)

We enjoyed a delicious dinner at a restaurant called Duke's, where the kiddie meals were enormous - well, all the servings were big, actually!

Kai ate most of his meal, a feat that amazed his parents! : )

Another day, we went to the Chiang Mai Zoo, which was really nice and in a beautiful setting

A highlight for all of us was buying food to feed a hippo family (father, mother and baby)

Here's a view from above the hippo's mouth! Teeth run all the way down it's throat, or so it seemed.

Juliana and Kai enjoy a close-up look at a giraffe

We've enjoyed playing "tourists" here in Chiang Mai, but are starting to miss our home and friends in Cambodia, where we know the language and how to get around. We're thankful for this restful season - but hopefully we meet our little one soon!
