Our Trip to Krabi
When Grandma and Grandpa visited us, we got to go on vacation to Krabi! Krabi is a beautiful place. It has amazing beaches and you can go snorkeling in some picture perfect spots.
One of our favorite finds was this awesome restaurant called Joy Beach! It was a short walk on the beach from our hotel where we could play in the sand and the ocean while waiting for our food.
We discovered, if we got a bucket, some sand, and a couple small clams we found laying around, we could have clam race’s to see which one digs down first. It was really fun.
I had a lot of fun playing with the sand. If we took really wet sand and poured it slowly, we could make little sand castles that just seemed to grow as we poured more sand.
Make certain, if you ever go to Krabi, go to Joy Beach. The food is great and the views are amazing.
Selah broke her foot a few days before we went to Krabi, so she couldn’t do some of the stuff we planned. Not wanting her to feel left out, we would go to the pool at our hotel and Selah sat in a pool raft with a towel as a blanket with sunglasses and a hat. My parents wrapped up her foot carefully so she could enjoy the water.
There was so much to do. Sometimes we would eat breakfast at the buffet, then sit on the beach and talk and other times, we’d walk around the beach looking for fun seashells and coral.
Krabi is known for pretty blue water and tropical fish. One day we decided to go on a snorkeling trip in these long-tailed boats to the three beautiful islands. You probably thought that we would go on a speed boat but we didn’t. These boats are common in Thailand and part of the snorkeling experience.
The day we decided to go snorkeling, a big storm came. I should probably tell you if you thought that it was going to be a beautiful ride through the ocean you are very mistaken, it rained so much that if you saw us you would think we had fallen off the boat and gone swimming instead. Second, we were supposed to go to four islands but we instead went to three because our tour guides said there was going to be another storm and we were running low on fuel.
And we saw some weird big rocks that looked like they were floating!
On a different day, we went on a very big boat to go to a different island called Koh Phi Phi. The water in the bay really clear that we could easily see all sorts of little fish swimming around us. It had a nice beach with soft white sand.
Since Selah broke her foot she couldn’t go swimming but she still had fun playing in the sand with Tallulah.
We were able to rent kayaks so my grandpa and I rented one and paddled around the bay.
We had so much fun at the beach with our family. It was a great time.
Well that’s it for Our Trip to Krabi. This is Jeremiah signing off!

Grandma and Grandpa in Chiang Mai
Just like our cousins, our grandparents knew that we are the most awesome people in the world and they wanted to come to visit. My grandparents came for a whole month!! We went on sooo many adventures with them and I wanted to share them with you!
We had to make sure they got to see plenty of the Thai culture so we took them to a Thai temple. At the temple there was a sky walk and we got to see them painting the temple. We even got to add gold leaf onto the temple walls. There were many Buddhists statues everywhere. Some of the statues were only a couple feet tall and others were HUGE!
For even more Thai experience we knew we HAD to take them to see elephants! On the way to Elefin Cafe we stopped at Carp Cafe to get some food. This place is awesome! Its so hard to describe because its unlike any restaurant you’ve probably ever been to. There is water everywhere with Koi fish inside and the tables are even placed in the little pond. You can buy fish food to feed the fish and as soon as you start feeding one fish the whole pond of fish will swim to your table.
After we ate lunch we went to go see elephants! We went to Elefin Cafe which is a cafe with elephants to go see and feed. It is so fun!! When we went this time, there was a baby elephant and it was so cute!
We also went to a water park and we were having so much fun but you won’t believe what happened. I went on a slide with my grandpa and our tube flipped over!! Luckily no one was seriously injured but I did bang my shoulder against the slide and I got a bruise on my shoulder. Nonetheless, we had a bunch of fun!
One thing we really wanted to do with them was go to Sticky Falls! Click the link to read my blog post about sticky falls.
Later that day, after we went to sticky falls, we went to the movie theater and watched Inside Out 2. And after that I went to gymnastics. At gymnastics I fell and BROKE MY FOOT! The day before I was gonna teach line dancing, and a week before vacation: a BEACH vacation. I had to use crutches the whole time which really stunk because I couldn’t swim. One day, my brothers, my grandparents, and my dad went on a snorkeling outing and I couldn’t come. I have never been snorkeling in the ocean and I was looking forward to it. Let’s just say I broke my foot at possibly the worst time ever. I did get a lot of rides on my taxi (dad) though.

My Grandma and Grandpa aren’t just my grandparents they are my best friends and it meant so much that came across the whole world to see us. It was so much fun hanging out with them and I’m so glad I got to make more memories with them. 😁🤪
