Bangkok

Here is the first set of pictures from Bangkok now that I’ve got them all downloaded off the phone. I didn’t take along our big camera on this trip in the interest of traveling light – all images were take with an iPhone.

Swim up bar

Kai and Nora hit the swim up bar for milkshakes.

Goofy

Nora and her team

When Nora sat down for a foot massage a team descended on her to do her nails as well. She loved it!

Kai had a bed with a view.

Nora finally got her tuk tuk ride.

Dawn on the river

It is hard to take pictures in low-light with an iphone camera but this one turned interesting after I ran it through some filters.

She's pretty excited!

Nora's Dance Costume

Nora just picked up her costumes for the recital in June. Here she shows her closing move.

I tried to get her to do Jazz hands

She wouldn't though. Not all jazz dance numbers have jazz hands she assured me.

This is the costume for the Jazz number

Rollerblading and Doughnuts with Dads

Here are a few pictures from a while ago that I thought I would post. The “Doughnuts for Dads” is a writing celebration in Nora’s classrooms and Nora just got new rollerblades so expect more pictures soon. Her old skates were stiff and slow (for beginners) but her new ones are zippy “expert” skates.

Dougnuts for Dads

mmmmmmm......doughnuts.

Nora shows off her books

Nora demonstrates that not only are her books fun to read but they also make a fashionable belt.

She's been practicing a lot recently.

Nora has indicated that she needs a new set of skates. Expert skates.

Beautiful Day

It was a rare and beautiful day. Clear skies, great temperature, not too windy...don't see this kind of weather often enough.
