elephant ride
while 6 months pregnant with my second child,ubon ratchathani, thailand
july 2006
i used to travel a lot with my husband, even when i was pregnant and have one son already. one of the trips he did was to go to ubon ratchathani, thailand on july 2006 and I was 6 months pregnant then. our host took us to an elephant village. we took the elephant ride. i was actually on top of the elephant for 5 minutes only. my knees shook involuntarily. i told my husband about it. so he asked the elephant rider to go back and put me down. it was one of my unforgettable experiences being pregnant with my girl.
Wow! This is a really good shot! I love elephant rides! Aren't you scared? lol! I got scared when I had an elephant ride in Thailand.
That is huge! And I have a shot too riding an ele! We used to live in Thailand for years:) Thanks for stopping by!
what a fun ride!
You are soooo brave!!! I would be nervous even if I were not pregnant!
Thanks for stopping by :)
On top of an elephant, wow! Looks like fun.
Does your child now say, "I rode an elephant with my mommy before I was even born?" Lol! Wonderful photo!
Wow I have always wanted to ride an elephant. Never had an opportunity to yet. Maybe when I get to travel the world, someday.
That must have been so exciting to ride an elephant!
What a memorable experience for you! Thanks for sharing. Mine’s at Small Reflections today.
Hugs and blessings,
WOW! That is so awesome! I would love to be able to do that.
Janet: A very special picture of the special carrier.
I wonder if your baby remembers the experience too on some level. Cool shot. I've never gotten to ride an elephant. Must be incredible. It's a wonderful photo.
I have never ridden an elephant! It looks so high up! You were brave I think.
