Baby! Banger!

Into things, hat, and hair

Lately you've been climbing into things...sometimes you fit and sometimes you don't...sometimes what you want it is empty sometimes not. Either way, big or small, empty or full, you don't seem to mind!

This fabulous hat came from Grandpa Farthing...

Your hair must be growing! Milon fashioned a very nice sprig coming out of the top of your head and added some flowers for that extra touch. Guess it's time to get some clips and bows!

Halloween 2009

E ... on your 2nd Halloween you had much more fun. We carved a pumpkin, went to the Halloween carnival at school, and then went trick or treating. This involves driving around in a bus and visiting teachers apartments to get treats. This year your dad was in charge of organizing the route. It turned out to be a fun night and you got lots of candy for yourself (well we ate most of it). Then we ended with a party on road 84 house 4 ... super fun!

Thailand Review

E ... Here are a few more tidbits from the Thailand trip. You had a great time playing in the room, shopping, and playing with the less exotic animals of Thailand.

Elephant Camps and Orchids

In Chiang Mai we also visited elephant camp and an orchid farm. E had a great time but preferred to eat the bananas rather than feeding them to the elephants. We also visited an orchid farm with an old car collection (??) and some giant coy.

Chiang Mai Temples

After landing in Chiang Mai that afternoon, we immediately went on a 'free' temple tour. The city and traffic is much calmer. We had a driver and guide. They both were very helpful. The tour guide was very good with E. I think there might be a tour guide class she took in college that deals with how to work with kids but more likely she was being genuinely kind. It was impossible to understand most of what she she though. Wash up was worship but then she talked about the washing the temple and that was something else. She did give us lots of useful dates bout the temples and artistic information about the different eras of temple design. These are some of the oldest temples (700 years) and some of the relics were up to 2000 years old. E ran around but was generally a super trooper.
