Singapore Sling
Ian went to Singapore this weekend, to visit Mommy and Daddy's friend Sue. We all had a great time, as you'll see. Ian got to ride on the 'Singapore Flyer' which is the 165 metre high iconic ferris wheel on Singapore harbour - what a ride and what a view! We also hung out along the river front where we saw a exhibition of horseshoes (shoes as horses!) then Mom and Dad got some time for 'retail therapy' (yes, shopping) while Ian played at the pool with Sue. You'll see that Ian has adopted giving the 'V' for Victory sign in many of his photo's now. We're not sure where he got it from but Dad decided to try it too.

Hua Hin 'an all that!
Ian spent the weekend at the beach to escape the Bangkok heat and enjoy some much needed water time. We headed for Hua Hin, a resort town that is a short drive from Bangkok though on a busy holiday weekend it can take a while as we found out. Ian got more than a beach and water this weekend too, with a pony ride along the sand to cap a long sunny Saturday by the pool. He grinned the entire time he was on his pony and mastered the reins well. It wasn't all sun though as you'll see, since we also encountered a massive storm with dramatic darkened skies across the Gulf of Thailand. Ian also got to play the Xylophone - you'll see Ian pictured with the young man who played for us at dinner.
