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. 😁🤪
