Elephant ridin' on a Saturday afternoon....

After our time at the floating market, we drove a few miles to this elephant village. Crazy to think that 2 weeks ago, we had no idea we'd even be here. And today, we rode elephants in Thailand!! A gift straight from the Father Himself.

We had to climb this wooden structure just to be able to "get in."

Here comes the first elephant....

Getting on was no easy task....

And we're all still a little unsure of how this will turn out....

We're finally off!!

Some chose to use their umbrellas while others did not! :)



One of THE most amazing things we've done since moving to this side of the world. The Father and His creations never cease to amaze us!



Some blurry monkeys along the way....

One of the "trusty" guides ... at one point, the guides actually got off the elephants and took photos with our cameras. We were glad to see them get back in the drivers seat!

And then we headed towards THIS body of water ... notice no bridge for the elephant.


Could this have been any more fun?!?!?!


And yes, we were suckers again for the photos they took, even though we had a zillion of our own!


Elizabeth made the comment today, "I never thought my life would be like this when I was a little girl." Life is full of uncertainties, but what we can be certain of is that once you tell the Father to do His will with your life, it is one amazing journey. We will never forget this day that He made and gave to us. Thank You, Father!!
