Excited to get in the water. Not before a quick picture, of course. :)
There are few things this little peanut is afraid of, and one of them is learning to breathe under water. We were SO proud of her once she finally figured it out! In fact, once she got the hang of it we had a hard time convincing her to get out of the water! You could hear her screaming under the water whenever she would find a fish that she liked. So cute.
There she goes...
Getting ready for an early morning swim...
Look at those cute, salt-water curls!
This one could also stay in the water all day...
Here are the beautiful accommodations Andy made for our trip. A huge step up from the hut we stayed in the last time we were in Malaysia. Thank you, honey! We stayed in the top room - the one with all of the colorful towels hanging out to dry!
So relaxing.
I mean, really relaxing!
Which was well-deserved after the hike Andy took us on through the Malaysian jungle. It started out easy enough...
Um... I wonder if I should have packed something besides sundresses and swimsuits for the girls? Also, keep in mind that during our time here we saw several large monitors (I'm talking about 4 and five foot long big, fat lizards that look a lot like crocodiles if you ask me...), and lots of other wildlife that I'm hugely uninterested in being around, AND Vic saw an "elephant crossing" sign near the ferry dock... so let's just say this little "hike" turned out to be a little more challenging and adventurous than we originally planned! Look at Andy's back - he's totally sweating. Oh my gosh I was laughing so hard! Good thing I had my camera in my back-pack. :)
Seriously!?
We did reach a point where we wondered if we should continue on or turn back... I can't believe Hannah was laughing during our hiking crisis! I wonder where she gets that from?
We continued on! Hike through Malaysian jungle: check.
Enjoying another sunny day.
Playing in the sand.
So sweet. :)
Cheese!
Maggie was in heaven with all of the interesting water-creatures to be found along the seashore.
Meet "Sam" the hermit crab.
Mia is turning into a little spelling machine! She is really excited about reading and writing and we are so proud of her. I thought it was so sweet to turn around and see what she had written in the sand.
Check. Her. Out. Who IS that kid?
What a dare-devil!
And of course, not to be outdone by her sisters...
Thank you for a wonderful week! Love you and miss you so much already!
