Before I left for my brief furlough in the States, and before Claire left Thailand, we had a nice (almost) week-long trip in Chiang Mai that was integral for helping both of us process our past year in Thailand and the experiences we'd had. I wanted for Steph and I to also have something similar... while we didn't have a week to spare for that, we did have a day, today.
After breakfast at The Coffee Club, Steph and I headed off to The Mall Bang Kae (we found the fastest way there is by BTS to Wongwian, and then a 100B taxi ride) to spend the morning at a roof top water park! (One of the perks of being in Thailand... every season is good for an outdoor swim!) While on our way to the top floor, we had to walk through "Fantasy Land" which was like a little slice of Disneyland. <3.
The water park was a total blast... There's little that can make a Liz happier than racing down a treacherous water slide. And tube-flipping. There was a lot of that, too.
In addition to four giant slides and many kiddie slides (Which were also quite fun... hey! We had to try everything!), there was also a lazy river... complete with a human-car-wash feature. I guess they don't want you to get too lazy on the lazy river.
Our post-water-day picture! Complete with swim cap forehead lines. Don't laugh, we had to rent swim caps... they're mandatory here.
It can become so easy to race through life without reflection. It's good in different seasons to pause and be circumspect. A lot of good conversations and decisions came out of today. I am thankful that we made time/space this afternoon for thinking and preparing our hearts for what God is moving us towards next.
