Phuket

We've just returned from a great trip to Phuket, Thailand.  It was a wonderful place to visit with the kids - we had great weather, loved our accommodations, got in lots of relaxing and sunning, rode elephants and enjoyed each other's company.  Here's some pics from our vacation.

Finley really is such a great big sister...here she is, enjoying some cuddle time on our terrace.

We all went elephant trekking.  I was hesitant to take Nolan, but he did great and we had lots of fun!

Never did I think she'd be fearless in this situation, but Finley LOVED feeding the elephants.

He's sporting a mohawk these days.

This is giving me a glimpse into the future and what she'll look like as a sassy teenager.

Nolan and I at dinner.  We were so embarrassed when we realized we dressed alike, but then made the best of it with a photo opp.

We loved Phuket so much and it was so easy to get to that we really hope to make it back again.  Next up?  Grandpa Bill arrives Saturday for a week-long visit, and then the kids and I fly back to Chicago with him on the 11th for three COLD weeks.  Dave will join us in Chicago on the 22nd, and then we fly back to HK on the 31st.  We can't wait to see our family and friends!  Fin is especially excited to be reunited with AJ and Emma!
