We did so much during this trip and the boys had such a fabulous time that they wanted to stay in Langkawi for a whole month! :>
All geared up! A daily sight as we headed to the beach and pool after breakfast.
Chip drew big circles in the sand for us all to hop in and out of. And we played hopscotch - one of my childhood favourites!
Armed with big shovels, boys dug trenches and competed to build the tallest volcano everyday.
From time to time, they would take breaks from digging and piling and just strolled along the beach, picking seashells and examining rocks. Sometimes, time stood still for them as they watched crabs and other creatures appearing and disappearing into the tiny holes that dotted throughout the beach.
We made an effort to leave the resorts a few times to explore what the island has to offer. The boys always enjoy boat trips, so we did a half day tour to the Kilim Nature Park.
Love this photo of the boys! The resemblance is so obvious.
Nature coming too close for comfort. A few monkeys came on board the boat and had to be shooed away! Boys were curious, but I was wary and ready to defend!
The other highlight was the visit to the Bat Cave, which was quite an hair-raising experience!
The moment we entered the cave, all we could hear was this horrible high pitch noise that was almost deafening. And before I could say 'wait', someone shone the mega torch at the ceiling and there staring back at us were hundreds, if not thousands, of fruit bats hanging upside down from the ceiling of the cave. SPOOKY!
But I am glad we made it. For the boys to experience it all, it was worth it!
Chipsy, outside the bat cave, visibly exhausted after the walking around in the heat.
Forbidden ground - we couldn't stop staring at the stairs, wondering what creatures we could find up there.
Examining nature up close is always fun!
A comfortable trek the next day to check out the waterfall. Boy, was that disappointing! More like a trickle if you ask me.
Boys being surrounded by over 15 bunnies, all starving and badly looked after. Poor animals! Reminded me of our babies (I only have photos of Toffee, but not of Bunny and Flopsy).
The ONLY family photo we had of this trip! Even then, little Chip is not in this photo as he fell asleep before the food was served.
Whatever remaining time the boys had in the room was spent in the jacuzzi, followed by tons of Lego playing and way too much TV.
Now, I must not forget the pancakes and waffles every morning for breakfast and 4-5 hours in the beach/pool daily. No wonder they didn't want to come home anymore! Haha...
Well, I suppose we should be happy as this means it was money well-spent.

What an awesome vacation!
Hey Shenny's mommy, it was fantastic. Very tiring though.
Looked like a fantastic holiday - I love the nature parks and the bat cave! I just might make it my next family vacation too, looks great! :)
Oh go for it! These additional trips out of the resort are the differentiating factors to make a trip memorable, otherwise a beach holiday is quite similar everywhere we go.
