Howdy Ya'll! ;) (to be as Texan as possible)

This post is going to be a huge picture party! Getting ready for ALLLLL the pictures! We decided the most efficient way to let ya'll know what we have been up to when we aren't at work is to give ya'll a snapshot of the highlights! (Fair warning they may be out of order time wise! Don't let it confuse you ;))

SOME WORK PICS!

This is (from top right to bottom left) Seyha, Sarith, Ratha, and Cheyya! Just a few of the kids I (Lindsey) get to play with, try to help, and love on everyday. Each one is so unique in personality and disability but they are each still so precious and although it is sometimes challenging, I continue to learn everyday and I get to see little steps of improvement everyday!

Children at the community school CVCD (Amy's NGO) created!
They are the cutest and happiest children!

Grade 2 children at another Community school

ELEPHANT WEEKEND

We had the BEST weekend riding elephants in Mondulkiri Cambodia!

We couldn't resist kissing this beautiful creature!
He was the only boy with 5 girlfriends so we named him Hugh Hefner, real name Meh.

Amy about to go down into river on Hugh Hefner!

Beans riding bare neck elephant riding!

To give the elephants a break we got to play in waterfalls!
Some gorgeous volunteer girls!

BATTAMBANG & THAILAND

Finally kissed the monkey! Bucket list #3 accomplished. Interesting story goes with this.

Bamboo Train! feels like a magic carpet ride through the countryside

Cheeky monkey that jumped on my pants and started playing with my hair around the temples and caves.

and exploring all the caves!

Major culture shock landing in Bangkok vs. Cambodia!
It looked like NYC!

Round 2 of Elephant riding! (this may become a new hobby!)

And ELEPHANT BATHING! Such a surreal experience!!

Learned about Thai education system(much better than Cambodia's)
& watched Daniel teach the Thai children English!

Leaving will be so hard!

 (we have made some great friends who we are already planning a reunion trip with them in NYC next year!)

Its hard to say goodbye to all our volunteer friends when their time of serving comes to an end :(
We love you guys! Johnny (CA), Andrew (CA), Chase (South Africa) (who came back this week bc he missed us!), Francis (Singapore) & Emma (England)

We have made it a semi tradition to sign this guest book your last night!
We miss you Eric (NY) & Randa (Lebanon)
There are many others who have left but we don't have pictures with them :(

THE LAST WEEKEND TRIP! :( & :)

The amazing sunset on the beach of our last weekend trip!
