Embarrassing photos of the week-- and some cute ones

We have been having an awesome time in Bali. Kerstin arrived safetly in the middle of the night and it has been nonstop since then. If you come visit the Crawfords we can almost garuntee you will be jumped on by a monkey

smacked in the face by an elephant trunk

(that is me post slap- Kerstin got one right in the face also. It's a life changing experience J/K)
But you will also get to see and do awesome things like ride an elephant through a pond:

and survive. (Yes Abby is riding on an elephant at 9 months, I am trying to set a trend of awesomeness for her life)

Have a huge gorgeous lotus that only blooms in the morning right outside your door

Go to an amazing dance performance in a VERY old temple where someone will probably walk across burning stones "in a trance"

(apparently I feel like I need to open my eyes SUPER WIDE in night pictures- its the deer in the headlights look)
See (and if you want to get up at 2am hike) a live volcano

eat interesting spiky fruits

(look at Abby going for it! She is totally up for this life of adventure thing!)
Take a Balinesse cooking class

Which will lead you to the conclusion that if you want to eat good Indonesian food you should probably just go to a restaurant! You will also be shocked to learn that French Fries are in MANY authentic dishes-- more on that later.

and finally, hang out a lot with this munchkin who will finally let you hold her after a few days
