More photos - Meet Ton Khao

Reality hit today: washing, drying, folding, cooking, washing dishes, grocery shopping, more cooking, more washing, changing nappies... a bit of a change after 2.5 years!

But amongst all that, we've been swimming, to the playground (or the beach, as Callum calls it, because it's on sand and there was a huge pile of sand toys for the kids), out for lunch, spent hours going down the water slide AND met a baby elephant!

Both boys were excited to meet the Marriott's resident Asian elephant, Ton Khao out by the pool.  We bought a bunch of bananas so that they could feed him.  Callum was right into it, but poor old Daniel couldn't work out why he was supposed to be sharing with an elephant.

It was a great experience for ALL the boys and Ton Khao comes to visit daily so I'm sure they'll be looking forward to saying hello again while we're here...
