Halloween Bunko Costume Party

Well as you can probably guess Halloween is not a holiday in Thailand. And since Thai's love learning about American culture we thought we would have a fun party and use it as an opportunity to share. So that is what we did. The night consisted of games, music, food, bunko, and a testimony to the One True God. We had a blast...check out some of the pictures! Oh and it took us about 3 days to find the dry ice (they only sell it at 2 places in chiang mai) and our freezer was not cold enough to keep it...it almost fully melted before we could add it to our punch!!

Phuket Vacation!!!

Well during the month of October most of the universities and schools are closed for break...some up to 4 weeks. So we decided to take a break to and we went to Phuket for a week. It was a blast and so relaxing!

JEANNE GIBBS IN THAILAND

We had the blessing of having my mom, Jeanne, come and visit for a week. LeaAnn our great family friend came as well...they were both troopers and went non-stop the whole week. I have posted some pictures that will help you see how we spent our week!!!

Below are some video clips of us in the jungle ziplining!!!

A BASKETBALL CHAMP

Well it is no suprise that everyone wants Rob to play on their basketball team! I mean he is 6'4'' and can play!! In the past month he has played in two tournaments with two different teams. Below are some pics of one of the championship games.

**oh and after the game you would think he is a rock star...I would say after this game he had 20-25 pictures taken with fans...it is hilarious!!!

CAVING

Rob and I stumbled upon a cave when we were visiting a friend's family. We spent an hour or so exploring....we found that some spots were not as spacious as we would have hoped. Between the small spots, the bats, and the water we felt like we were adventurers!

SLIDER

A Visit to the Slider!!! A bunch of our Thai friends wanted to take a day trip to a city about 2 hours away. They said there was something called "slider" they really wanted to do. So we made a fun trip out of it...we ate at a famous noudle shop with the largest meatball ever, went to a ceramic factory, and experienced the slider!! Here is the infamous slider and pictures of our fun time!!

SNAKE FARM

A VISIT TO THE SNAKE FARM!!!

So we decided to go do a little sight-seeing while Jeff was here with us....here is a look into our time at the snake farm. It may have been one of the scariest times of my life!!!



Do you see the snacks in the tree?!!!



We were the lucky volunteers!


We were so scared!



The boys contemplating going to the snake show!




Wow that is gross!
