Christmas in Langkawi and Mongroves Tour


Pool time at Resort World Langkawi.

Dash learned how to swim this trip! He was doing so well! Good job, Dash!!! 

Christmas Morning!

Lego guys, t-shirts, hats and books. It was the simplest and best Christmas ever! We even happened upon a movie theater and watched The Hobbit--they loved it. The big deal Christmas gift was the trip itself. Thank you, Daddy! And Santa!




Waiting for our ride to do the Mongroves Tour.


We did the Mongroves tour and there were 12 boats and one guide. I guess the others couldn't make it that day! But fortunately the guide was in our boat and we learned some cool things. These Mongrove trees are the reason why this island and inhabitants did not suffer from the tsunami in 2004. The roots somehow get oxygen from the water and grow close to the surface- lots of roots. We stopped at four different places on our tour.  

Callie's new friend.

Monkeys are on both sides of this waterway. They are very territorial and don't mix with other groups. This one came up and Callie fed him. He ate it and then grabbed what was left in her hand. Guess he liked it. This was one of the kids' favorite parts! But monkeys are really quite pesky and destructive. 


We saw Eagles at a place where they feed them. They threw chicken feed into the water.  They can't do it too often of course because the eagles need to keep up their survival skills.

The fish farm. Sting rays, tuna and more. We also had a nice little lunch here which was included.

A stop at the beach to play. 

This was the fossil place but we didn't really see anything that looked like a fossil. ?


Ocean water comes in as the tide gets higher and it's a tranquil and quiet little cove.
