This is Mom and I in the Umbrella Factory. After seeing the amount of time (and blisters) that goes into each umbrella, I wanted to buy them all!
Mom and Dad drinking some Coconut Milk. You'd think it would be delicious - it's not. This was at the Orchid Farm where we stopped for dinner. The restaurant was hidden way in the back, but our Thai driver, Sam, knew just where to take us - we were SO pleased with the food, and the environment was perfect!
This was our second Elephant ride, down the side of a mountain, over the river and back up. The picture is blurry because it is VERY difficult to take a picture of a moving target when you're moving yourself! These Elephant Trainers live right on-site and work with the Elephants every day! Our Elephant had big long tusks and was 34 years old!
I"m not sure if this movie will work, but it's of the elephants playing soccer. They also painted pictures, played harmonicas, carried logs, and much more. It was so entertaining!

Did you upload it using the filmstrip icon or the picture icon? The movie is not working for me. It is showing like a photo.

Hey Vanessa! I had no idea you were headed over to Thailand! What an amazing trip! Beautiful pictures and incredible memories, I'm sure. That is one of our future vacation destinations for sure! So glad to see you had a chance to visit your sis!
