Malaysia Continued [brace yourselves I think this may be the longest post on record]

Meeting up with my boys in KL- love that I am completely oblivious to the fact that Noah has a gun aimed at me. Hmm miss me much???
Heading to Langkawi
We've arrived and are officially on vacation.
View from the pool
Floating Noah
Beautiful beach that was right next to the pool
Fun in the sun here we come!
Kai taking on the ocean with his swim cap, we weren't too sure what exactly was going on with that but he was pretty insistent on having it on at almost all times so we of course didn't argue. 
Noah's love of drinking pool water
Pool Gladiator
Once he discovered jumping into the pool it was impossible getting him out.
Showing us he had no fear of putting his face under the water.
Silly times in the jacuzzi
This is their o-shiri ganbare song and dance, which translates into 'lets go my butt you can do it'  This number it seems is the highly anticipated follow up to the smash hit "o-chin chin" which was a fantastic little diddy about another private part.   Cause for concern or destined for greatness- I'm opting to believe the latter.
Noah went for a second verse. Maybe worth noting this was a private jacuzzi.
Hotel grounds which were just exquisite and really did make you feel like you were transported into some sort of chichi jungle.
I love that my children have not lost the ability to pass out just about anywhere when they're tired. We were having an early dinner when Kai decided he was done - there were no tears no tantrums he just laid himself down and off he went.
Kai's angry face- we catch him making this face to Noah to show him when he's really means business.
Have to throw at least one attempt at a family portrait in there.
Our desperate attempt to appear as hip parents.
Kai takes flight
Noah stays grounded
Noah desperately trying to figure out why his mother has packed him in dynamite for the day. Those swimsuits are definitely better in theory.
The bean declaring he's done.
My super cool little dude
Naoto trying to convince me he really is going to the gym.
Our day of rain that clearly didn't damper any one's spirits
Tamer times in the jacuzzi
Since it rained that day we had to improvise.
Noah puttin some serious food down- that kid eats more than all of us combined. Kai always keeping it classy by drinking the milk out of the porcelain pitcher.
Never a dull moment.
He always seemed to have serious attitude when he was in the pool. He didn't really want to play with any of us- like he was too cool to be seen with us. We realized he's just more of beach bum than a pool lover.
Kai on the other hand loved the pool much more than the beach.
Noah telling us he really means business and is ready to hit the beach.
A swimming Kai spotted from beneath. He actually decided he was going to learn how to swim on the trip and is now taking lessons and is totally loving it.
Really large coconut.
Collecting shells
Mangrove tour
Where we saw a ton of monkeys
Then Kai was done and napped most of the way back.
Pretty boy
Eying the juice and plotting a plan of how to end up with both glasses.
Silly little tricksters.
Doesn't get any better than this.
Napping beach bum
Me enjoying Noah's nap.
It was nearly impossible to get them to leave the outdoor shower, luckily they are extremely cute and everyone was quite fond of their little show. 
Sword fighting
Back at KL- think this was the National Mosque.
Yummy food.
Yelling lord knows what at the fish
Evening stroll
Walking up a billion steps to reach a very cool cave.
Lots of monkeys along the way, which of course completely freaked me out. 
 
Making paper swords and causing trouble in the hotel room.
Noah's 'nothing to see here' look
Followed by his convincing sweet and innocent face
I knewn he was up to something- it was just a matter of time before he spilled the beans.
Now it was Kai's turn to give the 'what- we're not doing anything look'
And he's caught although he's totally trying to act like he does not have a plan to take that porcelain plate out of the draw and throw it on to the ground.
Last night in KL
And another awesome vacation came to a close. Man do I love being a part of this wacky little family.
