Halloween

Family Day

This past Thursday was our Family Day so I took the day off to spend with the girls. Here are photos from breakfast with the orangutans at the zoo.

Not too much excitement in Kuala Lumpur. Spent most of our weekend shopping since clothes are so much cheaper there than Singapore.

Girls in Purple

For whatever reason, the girls got dressed up in purple one day.  They came to our house and asked if Madeleine had a purple dress she could wear to have their picture taken.

Beasties

Madeleine finished the semester of Little Gym and the last class had a small show.  The kids handed out invitations for others to come attend and Madeleine invited Ms Paige, our neighbor from Tennessee.  At the end of the show they handed all the kids medals.  Madeleine didn't quite know what to do with it.  Lunch followed at California Pizza Kitchen.

Bali Vacation Days 2-4

Once we got the touristy stuff out of the way on day 1, we stayed at the hotel the rest of the week and just enjoyed the pool and beach. We made an occasional excursion shopping.

Getting braids.

Vacation in Bali Day 1

Day 1 in Bali we hired a driver service to take us to see a couple sites around the Island. After a quick stop at the Carrefour (like a Walmart), we started first for lunch at Tepi Sawah for a traditional Balinese lunch (we actually ate pizza and club sandwiches).

Next stop was the Gunung Kawi temple and rice fields in Tampaksiring.

On the way to the Tirtha Empul Temple we drove through small villages to see the rice terraces. It's a stepped hill that floods rice from top to bottom.

Next temple was Tirtha Empul Temple

And the highlight of the day, the Monkey Forest of Ubud. Theresa cried like a little girl as these moneys roamed about the forest. They would even jump on your back if they thought you would feed them.



We finished the day with a dinner performance at the hotel. The dance performance was a traditional Balinese Legong dance.
