To milk this series of photos and vacation details for another day, here are some photos from the safari trip that we took. It was a half day excursion to include elephants; water buffalo; demonstrations of curry making, rice sifting, coconut processing, and rubber making; and a trip in Chalong bay on a boat with lunch included. The kids were free (yay!), and Amy and I both think that the roughly $100 spent for each of us was well worth it. We had a great time and won't soon forget it.

We have a couple videos of the elephants painting and playing harmonicas, but we're having trouble getting the videos to work. Try the following links (if they don't work, we'll get them posted at a later date):

Ryleigh spent half her time on the elephant looking forward and half her time looking back at Mom.

A highly recommended experience if you ever get the chance.
