Fun Times in Thailand!

After a wonderful time visiting in India, we headed to Thailand for a relaxing and refreshing time together. If you weren't sure about coming to see us before, you may just want to now!! 

{Traveling in this part of the world can be EXHAUSTING!

After training, then taxiing to the airport, we waited for our flight!}

{Us, SUPER ready to be in Thailand!!}

{The sunset on our first night was GORGEOUS!}

After unpacking, we enjoyed DELICIOUS seafood and got massages! It was SO nice to RELAX and enjoy!!

{He did learn not to play with his food... I promise!}

{For all the seafood lovers!!}

After enjoying some tasty food and getting caught up on some sleep... we planned a trip to visit another island and go snorkeling!

{Snorkel time!}

We also visited the top of a mountain nearby our bungalow, where we could see the Big Buddha Phuket statue and temple. All over the world people are worshipping someone or something. Here, the deception is real and obvious. Pray that these people would worship the Living God and not things made by the hands of men.

{On our way up the mountain, we saw many places where people 

could wash, ride and take photos with elephants!}

 {We also heard monks offering songs & recitations on our way up}

{Idols and bells hung in the trees as offerings to "gods"}

{Finally, after a lot of steps, we made it to the top and saw Big Buddha}

{On the way down the mountain, we saw this monkey tied to a chair.

We thought he'd hurt himself but apparently he's quite a $ maker!}

We spent the rest of our time just enjoying the beach and being together and in case you didn't hear... 

WE'RE HAVING A BABY BOY DUE JAN. 16!!!!!!!

 {Dad & Z enjoying fun in the sun (and water!)}

{Definitely one of the most beautiful beaches we've ever seen!}

{Baby *BOY* Cawthorn... due Jan 16th!}

After a WONDERFUL trip and a couple more days of traveling and souvenir shopping, we made it back to Delhi, where we sent Dad back to the US! 

{Saying 'bye for now' at the airport}

No worries though, we'll be back in the States in MAY 2014!! :)
