The Sandy Shores of Bass Lake and other Random Pictures

Here are a few random pictures as I clear out the memory on our phones and cameras. I especially like the picture of Kai and Nora searching for frogs in Bass Lake. Can’t wait to spend some summertime there!

Longing for Bass Lake

Kai and Nora can't wait to get back to the sandy shores of Bass Lake.

Kai and classmates take on the parents in a marshmallow tower building competition. They lost.

Nora bet she could draw a snowman taller than Dad. Here is the offical measurement.

Nora’s Bangkok Gallery

Nora took along her iPod touch with a camera during the Kid’s Club activities and snapped some photos. 483 photos to be exact. Many prominently features a finger or two over the lens and there were extended photo studies of pant legs and what was probably the inside of a pocket. I pulled out a few to post here…

Nora, Kai and at least part of the kids' group.

One of Nora's pictures.

One of the many selfies. At least these tended to not have a finger over the lens.

Checking out the Buddhas

One last selfie. You know she's giving it all she's got by the way she bites her tongue.

Bangkok Trip April 2014

Earlier this month we took a trip to Bangkok for the NESA Spring Educators conference. Crystal and Ben were mostly booked with the conference but we did have a couple of free evenings to take in some attractions. During the day the kids participated in Kid’s Club where a tour group took them out to different venues each day which they enjoyed even though it was pretty much the same itinerary as last year.
