Bangkok Week 815

February 8, 2024

The house is too quiet with no more guests! But we had a fun week nonetheless: checking out the local market, going biking, inviting more guests, and of course, lots of swimming!

Happy Friday morning! Lucy enjoys lazing in her bed.

She also enjoys this photo of Puu, Yaa, Aa Top, Dad, and Arlo!

Arlo's been itching to try peanuts in the shell. Today's his lucky day!

An unusually large Friday swim class for Lucy.

Celebrating the end of the week in a tree with Aya.

Off to the night market around the corner from our house.

It's a pretty classic night market, with local market prices.

Getting some desserts.

Lucy wanted an ice cream...

... and Arlo got a toy.

A blurry flash on passes us on the way home.

Squeezing herself into the bathtub from K. Wan.

Spitting image of the bear from the calendar.

Enjoying one of the desserts from the market.

Beautiful new lotus from Uncle Andrew.

Happy Lucy, Happy Dog.

K. Wan never realized she was missing an audience!

Arlo's continuing to work on the backstroke.

It's been a restful nap...

... and now, we're off for some cycling!

We were last here about 4 weeks ago, but Lucy's improved massively in that short time.

And Arlo's confident to go back on the big course, too.

A bit of off-road warmup.

Conquering the hills with ease (and balance).

Lucy was also very interested in the scooters.

Arlo tried the "adventure park" for the first time.

It was quite the adventure indeed!

Lucy just needs to learn to look straight as she speeds along.

Our pro bikers.

Stopping afterward for some cold refreshments before heading home.

Bedtime hugs for big brother Arlo!

On Monday morning, Lucy can't help but sneak into Arlo's bed and play with Chompy.

Wondering why her car seat has no covering right now. And why is it in the kitchen, for that matter?

Oh my, Lucy, one milk isn't enough?

A relaxed Sunday morning around the moo baan. (A little too relaxed for Lucy?)

Practicing some hoops.

Look at Arlo's impressive people!

And going for a "drive".

Quick trip to Makro to pick up some goodies for tonight.

Lucy is newly obsessed with keys. (Real keys!)

Biking around the moo baan while waiting for our guests to arrive.

Sally's family and Ronan's family are here for dinner!

A feast of pasta, fries, and nuggets (and some veggies).

Poor Sally couldn't bring her bike home in the Grab. But Lucy promised to watch it for her.

The car has become a canvas for a budding artist. I guess it needs a wash...

Lucy had a special visit from Auntie Pattarat, who spoils her and Arlo.

Arlo has learned how to pick up his sister, and it's novel for everyone!

Tuesday playgroup for Lucy! What a treat!

Another bloom for this cactus; but actually we missed the flower yesterday!

Oh my, look what we found in Arlo's backpack after school on Tuesday!

Hanging out with Mum in the office while she works.

Our speed demon.

Heading into the office for a day. First time trying from the new house.

Lucy showing off all her decorations.

Arlo diligently waters his dill every morning.

The new cactus paddles are much wider. I think they get better light here.

Checking in on his basil overgrowth.

And now it's Lucy's turn for a dentist check-up.

The dentist is happy with Lucy's teeth!

Celebrating good teeth in the mini park.

Having a good laugh over the colorful animals. See you next week!
