Thailand Day 7 - Phuket

We hung out today at the Luguna Beach Resort where we are staying.  Much to our chagrin we were not able to change our tickets back to Shanghai, so we will be going back on our original schedule, February 3.  Hopefully it won't be too cold and snowy!

The gorgeous reception area...  This is the cold season here, about 85 degrees and it feels so darn good!

The resort is right on the beach of course, and the boys LOVED going boogie-boarding in the waves.

Sophie found a water gun at the pool and was shooting Sue.  Notice how she just missed Sue's head with a stream of water...

Jack dug the obligatory hole in the sand and found this little critter.

"Hey Peter, I think I'm getting heat stroke - I just saw an elephant swim by."

"Just ignore it, Jack, it will go away."

"Oh no, Peter, I'm seeing it again!"

No, it wasn't a mirage!  Two elephants walked by with their trainers.  The elephants were sisters, 6 years old, and 1 year old!

This was the younger one, very friendly with everyone!
