A day at Huay Tung Tao

About 15 minuts away from our house there is this really cool man-made lake. Many local people go there for the day and especially on holidays. We've been wanting to go for a while and finally got the chance. Here is a fun little video on youtube about it. Much better than my terrible pictures!

There are something like 16 little restaurants all around the lake. The restaurants have a bunch of individual huts - some right by the water and some over the water! You can sit in them (on the floor with a little table) and order food. Some of the huts are in the swimming section of the lake. This is where we sat and the boys just jumped in and swam after we ate.

Orin got fried shrimp. It was actually a bunch of itty bitty shrimp all fried together. It tastes ok - I just hate that you can see all of their little black eyes.

There was a really pretty rainbow that the boys were so excited about.

I think this was the first time they actually swam in a lake. They enjoyed discovering that you can pour mud all over each other.

It's basically in the mountains...or at least it's really close. Pictures don't do it justice.
