Beach Bums

One of the many perks of living in California is that you get amazing amazing beach weather in February! We've definitely been taking advantage of it the past couple of weeks.  Ty loves playing in the sand, splashing in the water, and chasing after seagulls.  I think being a beach bum runs in the Shambaugh DNA!

Tyler is so photogenic! It's easy to take a lot of pictures of him. The last couple he was putting on a photo shoot.  He would not stop smiling!

The New Year

Cha-eh! Thai way of saying Peek-a-boo!

On our way to Khao Sok National Park

At Pawn's Restaurant, the Thai women loved him so much, they fed him bananas and let us eat  every time we came in.

Hiking within the Park.

We chartered a longtail boat on Chieow Laan Lake and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

My boys!

Floating bamboo raft houses on the lake.

More Thai love

We loved the day trip!

Ty doesn't understand yet that feeding the elephants doesn't mean he can have a banana, too.

Happy to be heading to the island of Koh Phangan.

This beach connected a small island (in background) by a sandbar walkable during low tide.

Oldie but Goodie

We found this old video we made while serving as volunteers in the Peace Corps and thought we would share it with you all.  It brought back so many great memories. Hope you like it!!!
