ostrich riding and a monkey attack.

My father, mother, aunt Anna and cousin Katrina were just here for a visit. We had a wonderful time together and kept their schedule pretty packed the entire time. While in Chiang Rai, we held a few different mobile clinics in the Akha village nearest us.  I think this is probably the first time dad gave adjustments with chickens laying eggs behind him and flying over him. After our time in Chiang Rai we drove to Chiang Mai so that the ladies could take a massage course, and so that we could spend some time with my cousins Keith and Rhoda who are currently there. From Chiang Mai we flew to Bangkok, then took a quick 1.5 trip to a beach 2 hours south of Bangkok. We LOVED having them here, and are so thankful for all they sacrificed to come and be with us. They hiked up to a waterfall, rode ostriches, went to a fish spa, experienced Thai massage, met our close friends here, the staff at the clinic I work at, the nurses in Bangkok that cared for Olive, and so much more.

Here are two little videos of them...

The videos won't show up for me. When I heard about the ostrich riding, it made me flash back to Swiss Family Robinson when they were trying to ride the ostrich, except I pictured Trina on the ostrich. Good stuff!
