Bangkok Week 820 — Mika's Photos

Lucy and Arlo continue to enjoy Yaa’s visit. Mum has a brief stopover in Chicago, before finally returning home on Sunday morning! Poor Arlo misses half of Math Week at school due to a prolonged fever (from what, we may never know…) and we round off the week celebrating Arlo turning 4 1/2.

Back in Chicago, after 5 years and 2 children!

And missing the famed St Patrick's Day celebration by only a few days: soon, this river will be green!

The hotel provided a great view into my beloved Marina City towers!

Great view of the spiral parking lots on the first 19 floors of each tower.

Balconies.

It's a classic rainy day in Chicago - getting the whole experience!

Our Big Bird: finally heading back to Haneda!

Bonus! They have upgraded the interiors of their 777s since I last flew this route in Jan 2019!

My little cabin. It was nice and wide. Not the most comfortable when sitting, but provided a great sleep!

Back in Bangkok, Lucy enjoys her Friday...

... as does Arlo.

Saturday Special: P'Noi is here to help out one extra day.

Checking in on the fish.

Lucy's keeping a good eye on them.

Opposing swings...

... and a little bit of screen time to celebrate the weekend.

Dinner picnic!

And finally! Mum's home for Sunday breakfast!

Mum brought back color-changing cups. Fun!

But the best souvenir of all was a snack-sized bag of popcorn from Mum's office.

Fish still there?

Trying on all the masks.

New sidewalk chalk from the US (CVS, to be exact).

Arlo's getting really good with his drawings!

Cool as a cucumber, in Mum's sun glasses.

Playing with the new packing peanuts.

Lucy got a bathing suit from P'Larissa down the soi. Cute!

Poor Arlo! Starting the week with a visit to the doctor. He's been running a high fever since Friday.

Waiting patiently for the results of the nasal swab, under a natural sun shade.

Making sure those fish are still there.

Last dinner with Yaa, before she heads home.

Home with a fever for yet another day, the silver lining is that Arlo can accompany Yaa to the bus terminal.

Bye bye, Yaa!

Lucy still has her Tuesday playgroups.

Finally back at school on Wednesday, right in the middle of Math Week. Look at this great race course!

He made it!

During the day, he's mastered the crab walk section.

Lucky Arlo and Lucy: it's another picnic dinner!

Uh oh! Where's Lucy?

All eyes on the special prize.

Arlo's feet and hands are suddenly larger than life.

Uh oh, Lucy! Don't let your brother see you up there!

Another special Math Week surprise at school!

Find the math activities throughout the maze!

It's spa day for all the friends!

Hmm! I think it might be time for Lucy to get some crocs of her own.

Lucy's a really great helper. Here, helping Mum "work".

Playing with the fountain that dad got for the fish.

Speaking of helpers, Arlo's great at watering all the plants.

And ending the week on the 14th, which can only mean one thing: Arlo turns 4 1/2 today!

Notice anything different about the height tree?

Closing the week with a delicious cup of ice cream! See you next time!
