My 10th Birthday in Krabi, Thailand

By -
On my birthday we did lots of exciting things. When we first woke up we got ready to go to a treetop zip line course. We had this arranged before so we were super excited. So for about an hour and a half we went on really high zip lines and ropes. 



 After that the place also included snacks so after that they took us to the table and gave us water and fruit. When we were done, we took a Tuk-Tuk to a fish farm where we saw some pretty cool fish big and small. 

 Then when we were done our owners of our apartment picked us up and we went to crabby town and we ate lunch there, (it was super good!) and then we checked out a fruit market and went to a department store. 

 Then soon it started to rain really hard so we ran to a restaurant to get drinks, (I got Coke and Brynn got Fanta) then we called our host to pick us up because he said when we are ready we could text him. 

 So a little while later it stopped raining and mom and I took a picture of me with the rainbow! 

Then Elyse, brynn, and I saw that there was a live turtle right next to the place we ate. So the person that was selling the turtle let us feed, hold, and pet it. 

Then the host came and we asked him if we could stop at a market on our way back so we got some food and fruit but the host told us that there was cheaper fruit on one of these fruit stands. So we got our fruit there and we went home. 

When we got home we took the elevator up, then we walked all down the hallway because our door is the last one so when we got there there was a streamer that had mini happy birthday cards on it! 

Then we went in and there was a happy birthday card on top pf a big white box, and in the box was a small cake!!! I had no idea! The owners of the apartment had got me a cake! I was so excited! 

And remember when we had stopped at the grocery store to get food, the owner of the apartment was in the store with us too so he secretly got us some candles for the birthday cake! But we could not use them because we did not have a lighter. 

But the cake was so yummy!! 

After we ate cake we dressed up all nice and walked to a very very fancy dinner place. 
 
It was cool because the restaurant had a pool to swim in so after an hour we ordered an guess what, the power went out!! So we just sat there coloring. 

We decided to walk home in the dark, and then we found a place cooking banana chocolate Thai pancakes, and so we had that for dinner.
So that was my 10th birthday!

In 2017, our family of five (3 kids ages 9, 8 and 6 at the time) embarked on a global adventure for one year. My husband and I decided to home school our children and take them on a journey of world exploration -- exposing them to various cultures, people, food, religions and everything else in between. Grateful for this privilege and our amazing experience. Exploring Venice, Italy on the waterways Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.  -- Mark Twain I had planned the first three months of our trip to Europe when we were still in the States, hitting the countries of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Croatia.

Hello NYC!!

Day 1: We arrive in New York! Wow, are we so tired. We just came off a plane flight from Denver and had to wake up at 4:30 to make the shuttle ride to the airport. It is 10:00 AM right now because of time change so we are going to get some lunch because we are SO hungry (and tired).  So we check into our hotel room which is barely big enough to fit us and take a quick shower. Then we go exploring! We walk to a restaurant that my mom had planned before, which happened to be about 45 minutes away, but New York is fun to explore so we of course just walk.  My mom told us along the walk that we were going to this restaurant called “Stardust.” So apparently, people that are good actors and singers that wanted to get a job on Broadway come to this place to be waiters. They sing songs, they also have lots of entertainment, and awesome milkshakes. We ordered and then watched all the waiters sing. It was incredible! They even had confetti! The down side, we had to wait for abou...
