Our Summer

We are having a fabulous summer! In fact, it's so fabulous that Mommy and Daddy are having a hard time keeping with the blog posts! So, they finally decided to make a movie about our summer, and hopefully some of the things that they weren't able to include are in it.

Enjoy!

Happy 5th Birthday, Kaia!

OK, well, I know that I've had a few practice birthdays before today, but this is it! My REAL birthday, and I am actually five years old now!

I had a great day! This morning, we went to the beach, and the water was perfect! Mommy said that the ocean knew it was my birthday and was helping me have a great day. The water was so calm that we all had a super fun time swimming, even Skyelar.

Then, we went out for dinner. I got to choose, and I chose my favorite place, Nikita's Beach Bar. I really like their pizza and pineapple juice!

THEN, we went to an overlook to watch the sun go down. It's a really pretty view. I hurt my ear on the way, though, so I didn't get my picture taken with the sunset.

 

Finally, on the way home we stopped and got a piece of cake so that I could have ONE last candle to blow out. It has been a fantastic birthday!

Thanks, everyone, for all of the birthday wishes! I miss all of you!

B-O-W-L-I-N-G!

I am having a great time on our holiday, but a few days ago, I got a bad ear infection. It's OK now, because we went to the doctor, but he said that I couldn't swim for a few days. So, what is there to do when you are staying in a beach town, besides swim? Well, we found out the answer to that question when we went to a mall and discovered that there is a bowing alley!

They had bumper bowling for me, as well as a ramp to help me roll the ball (it was pretty heavy!), so I had a really fun and easy time!

Skye can't bowl, so she sat and colored while we played. I helped her when it wasn't my turn.

She wasn't too impressed with my bowling skills, but once I got a strike, and she was pretty excited for me!

We also discovered that another fun thing to do instead of swimming is to have a dance party! Skye and I had Mommy play some music on her computer, and then we danced and danced and DANCED!

Mommy has some great video of our dance party that she will include once she has the chance to edit all of it! We're keeping her pretty busy...

Summer Fun- Phuket Edition Part VI

This has got to be one of the best vacations we have ever had. We already miss lounging and eating with Grand Ma and Grandpa, but it was great to have them here.

See how relaxed they look:



When we are not at the beach, I am playing some great new games I got for my birthday.

But the best time is spent playing in the sand with daddy.

Or swimming in the surf with mommy and Skyelar. Skye loved the waves today and didn't want to get out.

I am getting more and more comfortable out in the waves myself. See I can swim in the breakers. I even swam under the waves to pick up sand. We have some video, but haven't sorted that out yet.

Summer Fun- Phuket Edition Part VI- Birthday Edition

My birthday is actually next week on the eigth, but since tonight was the last night my grandparents were here- we had a party! First we went out to dinner at my new favorite place Nikita's on the water.

Then we came home for cake. My mom baked it. My daddy and I decorated it with the coolest Tinker Bell fairy decorations that my Grand Ma brought.It was two layers with pudding in the middle!

You guessed it! It was yummy.

Then it was time for presents! My mommy and daddy had already given me my mask & fins and a guitar back in Jakarta, but my Grand Ma and Grand Pa did not disappoint.

 I got all kinds of new games and books.

Skeyalr was upset it wasn't her birthday, but hers is coming up.

Then the mother load! My first Barbie.

It was a great birthday and I am so happy that my grand parents were here to share it with me.

Summer Fun- Phuket Edition Part V

Spending an early evening at Kata beach. Beautiful sunset.

We broke my daddy's number one rule of island life: Always wear your swimsuit.

Hope we can come back one night and swim in the punk water.

We also spend lots of time painting around the house.

Here we are contemplating the social significance of our latest piece.

We also spend time playing board games with Grand Ma and Grand Pa.
