Koh Phagnan
While we were in Chiang Mai we decided we wanted to spend our last week experiencing one of the famous Thailand beaches.We researched online for a place we thought might be suitable for the kids and ourselves and chose Koh Phangan.It is a small island located within the bay of Thailand just north of the more popular Koh Samui i…
We have made it to New Zealand and are enjoying staying on a farm in Peel Forest on the South Island.

We finally updated our Thailand adventure, we are a little behind. We'll fill you in on N.Z. soon, but for now we have lots of new photos to see.Hello to all of our friends and family!

I guess you are packing up and leaving tomorrow. When do you arrive in NZ? How are the kids? We miss you all so much. The boys and families will arrive any moment. The Sioux Falls group had to escape a blizzard by leaving on Friday. Met up with friends along the way. Jon and crew are in Houston for the Hightower Christmas. They should arrive about the time Jason and crew gets here. Just miss you 4 so much. Let us know when you arrive in NZ. I pray for a safe flight for all of you. Everyone in NZ is looking forward to meeting you. I love and miss you, Mom

What awesome adventures you are all having!!! Glad you are now getting accustomed to Thailand and it's culture (and especially glad that you made it there without missing a flight...way to go!!!). And, are you really surprised to see a lot of retired men in Thailand????? (let me just say- keep a close watch on Sam and Emma...you know I would be a freak!) Glad you are back on line and keep sending photos- they are Great!!!

The beauty of the sole is created by the experiences of ones life and I see so much beauty with your family. Thank you for keeping up the blog, the pictures are wonderful, all of you look so happy. Continuing to write in the blog may be some what laborious at times but I hope that you are able to continue to keep it up, at least so that I may live vicariously through your shared experiences.
Hello Emma, are you having a fun time on your new adventure and were you scared of the lions?
Hello Sam, how is life being Tarzan of the Jungle in Africa? You look to be handling it well.
Much love to you all.
