Pai is loaded with waterfalls! They are all over our map of the town, we have been to 3 so far this past week. They are each absolutely amazing and unique. The one we went to yesterday, well we did not even make it after 2 1/2 hours of hiking one way! We are going to attempt again after our memory softens the 4 hours of hiking when I had to carry Conner for an hour of the hike-hehe.
This one was just a short hike and a small, very old/death bridge away.

death bridge
many gaping holes, if they would have just left a donation box we could have left them a couple bucks to help fix it-ha!

and then down
stacked stone (moments away from a serious fate)
Peyton scaling an almost vertical wall. Who is this kid?!
I remember the day perfectly. Peyton was 15 months old, I was pregnant with Conner, and he was in a little t-shirt and a diaper. We were sitting in the living room and I looked up and he was standing on the ottoman. At the time I about died (even though I did snap a quick picture-hehe). That is where it all began. Peyton will and does climb on everything with no fear and has only fallen down and gotten hurt one time in his 6 years of climbing-when he was 3 years old he fell off the kitchen counter. We get the craziest looks from people when we are out with him making sure we see our child high in the tree, he also gets a lot of amazed attention and support by people being impressed by his abilities. He is unaware of his talents and simply enjoys to climb and explore. He amazes us!
the day Peyton decided he loved to climb-i just want to squeeze those juicy legs!
he made it!
waterfall-amazing!
Peyton playing the air guitar on his rock hard abs
hehe
Conner!
Jarrett and the waterfall
Jarrett jumping off the waterfall
conner flexing his muscles
climbing down was hard, so Peyton decided to jump down instead
the rocks have met their untimely end-before we realized what had happened Conner had happily knocked over many piles of the stacked rocks. They are called cairns and are mainly used by hikers to mark trails sometimes they are used for spiritual reasons-lets hope these were trail markers
we diverted him to throwing rocks in the water instead of destroying the “may be” spiritual totems-hehe
We had a bomb dot com day at the waterfall. We have come to realize that we love water in the ocean or in rivers or falling off the edge of the mountain (actually I think most people do), we always like to live next to it. It has been totally awesome for us to be in Thailand during rainy season. It actually has not rained that much, but the water is flowing everywhere, some days even down the streets. We are looking forward to checking out some more waterfalls around here, I still have to jump off of one-its on my bucket list.
The stories & pictures you post are amazing!!!!! I love everyone of them. Thailand looks like an amazing place to be living. Sometimes when I read your posts, on how I wish I could be there. It looks so peaceful!!!!! ENJOY every second of it!!
thank you Patti. it is very peaceful here and amazing, we are having so much fun! thanks for keeping up with us
You have the most beautiful and amazing family! I love how your parenting your boys and living life. You are inspiration to me to be a better momma and show my daughter all the beautiful things in life. I don’t know how you go on without little Trek but I know is with you in all of your adventures. Safe Travels <3
that means a lot to me Kate. I thank my boys for all my freedom as a mama, they bring life and love out of me and they are a little wild so I can’t help but be too:) xoxo ,Chelsea
Peyton always amazes (and scares) me with his no fear of climbing. He looked so cute up there playing his air guitar. The picture of him on the ottoman is so adorable – he has grown up so much:( And then there’s Conner flexing his muscles & his cute little grin:) They sure live up to their Brave & Mighty names! So many adventures & so much fun – such an amazing life to be living! Beautiful pictures, too. Love & miss all of you.
haha, i thought about you and daddy when you saw peyton clinging to that little cliff:) his air guitar thing is hilarious, he just started doing it and i die laughing everytime. love and miss you
Holy cow spider man …. Super talented dude wothout fear …. Just as it should be. lOvE!!
thanks shannon, he is spider man-i will tell him he will love that:) xoxo
Holy cow, is it possible for your boys to get any cuter and more handsome?? I think so because they always amaze me more and more! Go Peyton!! Auntie is so proud of you! And Conner, I love how he knocked over the rocks, I love how he thinks hehe. You and Jarrett provide your boys with the most beautiful, fullest life. Love and miss you! I see you jumping off a waterfall really soon! You can do it you can do it!
i thought of you as i wrote about the rocks, i knew your auntie heart would swell with pride, i think preston and action jackson would have joined him-hehe. peyton is totally a rock star, i am amazed by him. we love you and miss you
Your boys will never be able to be back in boring old America:)) Maybe your next adventure when you return should be Rving around the US???
that is definately on our list to rv around america, there are so many things there we are dying to do!
How fun! What a treat to get to see these little corners of the world. Peyton is a crazy climber, Conner….oh conner, mama had to hold him and that must have been hard because he is getting so big and strong!
xoxoxoxo
I didn’t say that though, I just ate it and thought it 
Yesterday Abby and I went to Bubba Gumps on a little date alone, I asked her if she missed any friends that had moved away. She sat there for a minute thinking and shook her head no…then said oh, there is one…Trek, he is so cute.
Becky
(PS, Bubba’s is sure not as good as when Jarrett was there, the Accidental sauce was like water! I was like…dude…you guys need to know I have ordered this a million times and it is not right
oh becky, you always make me laugh. totally lamo about water sauce, how could they ruin our fav dish!? tell abby i miss trek too:( yes, i about died carrying conner, he is not a baby anymore! sheesh
How fun! I can’t believe Peyton wasn’t at the top of the fall, though! All the pics are incredible and look like so much fun. Embrace life, Chelsea and JUMP!! Lots of love!
I will do it! and I will think of my brave aunt who jumped from an airplane when i do!
That sure looks like so much fun~ and we have an climber in our family – he is now 18 and loved doing extreme sports
Not sure that I could climb, and then jump in….but sure can see how my kids could. They sure have no fear, and love pushing the limits. Wonder what age we are when we lose that?
I wonder that too! Peyton asked me today if I could do a flip and I thought hmm? Yes i could but I would rather be in a padded room!
why can’t i just do it on the hard floor like him? that is so fun about your extreme sports little man, I wonder if Peyton will be like that too one day.
I saw the first pic of Peyton climbing and thought…’that’s cool..not too high’ and then I saw that second picture and nearly choked on my root beer! Whoa!
haha, I know Elizabeth! I have my moments of panic, but his track record is flawless and most of the time I don’t even notice. I notice others around me freaking out and then I am like-oh yeah, he is kinda high:)
