Rasa Ria Nature Reserve

A few final memories to capture from our holiday...

The girls had their hair braided...  Gorgeous!

The kids signed up to ride a pony with the kids club.  Scott and I wanted to see, so we came over when we saw the kids lining up for it.  Wyatt and Madeline do not know that we are watching!

Madeline is being such a sweet big sister, she holding on to her little brother and making sure he stays with her.

She turns and gives him a sweet kiss on his cheek!   I'm so happy to have captured it!

They stand together in line...

Suddenly, Wyatt sees us!  But, he doesn't say anything!  He just smiles at us!

Finally, Madeline sees us too!  So sweet!

Then, they each ride on the horse.  Lily comes out a little later, they broke the kids up by age.  She's with the bigger kids.

Each night, the kids club has a performance for the lighting ceremony.  The kids that want to participate can dress up as a warrior or a princess (only 2 princesses per night).  The staff at the resort dress up too.  There's drums and music, fire dancing and swords.  Pretty fun!  The girls did it 2 of the nights.  The first night, they were warriors.

Wyatt was a little scared of the fire!

Madeline later told us it was a little boring because they just stood there.  But, she definitely wanted to do it again.

All 3 of the kids got to be junior rangers at the Rasa Ria Nature reserve.  It was awesome!  I didn't get a picture of Lily, because she changed her shirt too fast and then didn't put it back on for me.  They all got to prepare the food for the Orangutans and then bring it up to them.  Pretty fun!

There were 2 Orangutans that came to get the snack.  Both of them climbed through the trees right above my head!  

They were pretty cool!  The Rasa Ria Reserve is a stage one rehabilitation reserve for Orangutans.  If you want more information about their work, you can find it here.

And our final evening begins.

Lily and Madeline were the princesses on this night!  That means, they get to be carried in to the show on a chair lifted my men!  How exciting!!

The sunset was golden!

Thank you for the fun times Sabah!  We loved it!
