Vacation - Part 6 - Wrap-Up and Outtakes

So, here's the end of vacation talk. The kids started back to school today (yay for 3 weeks off, unlike the States). Jack cried at school. Megan took a note the Tooth Fairy left her last night apologizing for forgetting to leave her money the previous 3 nights. Kylie ruled the roost again with Momma and watched Barbie as the Island Princess and grocery shopped with me. Dan had to wake up at 5am to go to work. Life is normal.

We are standing in front of a beautiful frangipani tree and I desperately wanted to get a pic of our family in front of it. Too bad the sun was in our eyes and Jack wouldn't look at the camera :)

One last funny story. I had promised Moo on the last day of school before the holiday break (12/19) that she could get her nails done the following Monday (12/22) with any Christmas design she wanted. Sadly, we were sick that whole next week and then the nail places here closed for New Year's break. Poor Moo. So, there was a mini "town" right outside our hotel. Restaurants, nail places, 2 7-11's, places to get suits made. Good stuff. So, I took the girls down to get all of our nails done. We walk in and there are 4 or 5 Thai ladies in there chatting. They were so sweet, asked if we wanted tea or coffee and sat us down. Then, everyone but 1 girl left. She was getting us ready for pedicures, talking to us, trying to get Kylie to talk. Finally, after about 5 minutes one of the originial ladies pulled up on a motorbike with another lady on the back. Apparently, they didn't have enough ladies to do 3 pedicures at the same time, so she went down the street to another nail place and borrowed a girl - she even had her nail file in her hand! They brought out mini-banana bunches for the girls, put on the cartoon network on the tv and chatted. Then, after Kylie was done and just sitting there, the lady brought out a bag of mini-bananas and 2 oranges each for the girls. I kept saying, "Kap kuhn ka, Kap kuhn ka" (thank you). Then, the lady brings out vitamin C tablets and offers one to Kylie, who has it in her hand before I realize what it is. So, tried to politely explain we didn't need it. Or when she offered it to Megan. :) Cute nails and a bag full of fruit for the 3 of us - $8.50 including the tips. So fun.

Moo lost a tooth. Her 8th. I told her she looked "Like a Pippo. Without your foof. You know, a Pippo. Who eats cangos and crananas. That grow in the slees. A Pippo." She thought it was funny.
