rayong

Before I forget, here are some pictures from our trip to the beach at Rayong a few weeks ago. It's only a 2-3 hour drive from Bangkok (depending on traffic) and will definitely need to be visited again.We took off for a three day weekend with Dan and Amy's family, my cousin, Devon, and a friend from the ward who was kind enough to come help out with the kids. Elie asks to go back every few days. Vi's probably not so keen as she spent the entire time in the shade and inside and still came back with a bit of a sunburn. The baby loves cold--she sleeps best right under the AC vent. She cries and sweats buckets if the temperature gets above freezing and the air is not blowing directly on her at high speed.

 I brought a bunch of pool/beach toys and the place we were staying had even more, but the kids spent more time playing with Rocky's shirt than anything else combined.

 I'm glad I caught this on camera, since it hasn't been repeated this well yet.

 The world's longest chicken fight.

 The beach was pretty clean, as long as you didn't look to the right or left and only focused at the beach owned by the hotel. The water was crazy warm, at least 90 degrees, shallow and jelly fish free.
