Royal Flora Show

This past year, Thailand celebrated the King's 60th year of reign. In honor of this milestone, Chiang Mai hosted a Floral Expo for the past 3 months. They went to a lot of work and it was really nice! One section had exhibits from different countries. Another section had different gardens. We finally went the last week and decided to go a 2nd time because we weren't able to see everything the first time. Keely may have been one of the most popular exhibits. A few people even took their picture with her while I was feeding her a bottle under an umbrella!! Now that she is getting bigger and not as "fragile," Thai's have been asking to hold her. Yesterday, we were at immigration to work on Keely's visa so she doesn't have to make a border run. The lady in charge who signed off on her visa asked to hold her and walked around the office showing her off! Then at Swenson's after the waitress brought us our ice cream, she asked to hold Keely and walked around with her while we ate our ice cream!

Keely finally deciding to smile big for mom (probably so I would stop taking pictures!)
