Dina and Zhanar at Rai Lay Beach. We took a boat ride there for a day trip. 

Dina and I had a little chat at the poolside 

Happiness is an afternoon at the pool 

Our boat driver was really cheerful and Dina took a liking to him right away. Well, that's true of just about everyone these days. Anyhow, he was a great help keeping an eye on Dina while we took a swim. (Don't worry family members... we are at the beach in this one. When we were under weigh she had her life vest on...) 

Dina on her private Island, wearing nothing but Nike. 

Siesta 

Dina does not have the best table manners just yet. This is her at breakfast in the hotel. 

Dina took a hike to a waterfall in the jungle. She liked bamboo a lot.

Dina's first life-vest comes with a handy baby-carrying handle. She seemed to like the vest, and actually giggled when we put it on. 

Proud boater 

Dina was uncertain about her first experience with a pool. Just the night before she had freaked out in the bathtub, and this was a lot bigger... 

More from the rose petal shoot 

After a little coaxing, Dina got the idea that pools are fun. This one was particularly fun because the water was warm and not chlorinated. It was a salt-water ozone-treated pool. Very nice. 

Zhanar and Dina posed for some photos upon arrival to our hotel room at the Sheraton Krabi. 

Dina took her first trip wearing a linen outfit from Carson and Monika. Linen is the ticket in this climate. 

Here is Dina again 

Zhanar played with the rose petals for a while. Dina got a kick out of having them dropped on her belly. 

Dina does her best Jerry Stiller impression. 

When we arrived in our hotel room the staff had prepared a special surprise for us - rose petals on the bed, a bottle of champagne and some fruit. The three of us got smashed. 

Dina is ready for battle in the pith helmet looking hat that Zhanar bought for her. But this hat is great because it has a strap and it protects from the sun very well, 

When Zhanar sat on Ra Ra the Elephant's leg, she discovered that elephants are prickly.

Dina celebrates on the beach. Aahhhh, life is good.
