As all of you who have met our wonderful daughter know, Bella has no shortage of energy. To help settle her down and keep her in one place we devised a new place for her to 'rest.' :-)

Last Kuala Lumpur Post
A few more pictures from our trip to Malaysia:
Christmas in March....? Nothing in Asia surprises us anymore.
Ma and Icha smile in front of the Petronas towers.
Bella and Jake loved playing in the splash pool in the huge park behind the towers.
Mark keeps an eye on "the boy"
On our last morning while Icha & Bella slept in... Ma & Mark took Jake out for one last exotic and authentic Malaysian breakfast!
Jake was fired up for the ride to the airport....
Asleep in 10 minutes!
The girls and Jake all smiles while waiting to board our flight.
Ma & Bella plan Bella's 'escape' to America... something about Bella sneaking into Ma's suitcase for the plane ride home!
Ma and Bella show their 'silly' faces!

Kuala Lumpur V
The next day of our trip (Wednesday) we headed to Chinatown and the famous Petaling Street for some serious shopping.
Ma, Jake and Icha smile across the road from a street that has sold all kinds of good crap for nearly a hundred years.
Ma, Icha and Bella. Three generations of hard core shoppers and hagglers.
Bella shows off her tremendous enthusiam... of course it was about 95 degrees outside!
Jake smiles while Mark shows off the only Warriors hat in all of south east Asia.
Adding to our cultural experience.... we took the subway/light rail back to our hotel!

Kuala Lumpur IV
More KLCC --- after our visit to the Science Center (which Bella loved so much we play 'science center' at home each day now...) we made a stop at the huge Kinokuniya book store. Ma was kind enough to buy both Jake and Bella their own books!
Bella peruses the hundreds of cool books on offer.
Jake looks for a book about trucks and cars.
The most you can have indoors for under a dollar!
Another stop by an exotic Malaysian restaurant.
When we got back to our hotel later that evening... Jake showed off just how much he loved his new book. Thanks Ma!

Kuala Lumpur Pt III
On Tuesday of our trip we headed into Kuala Lumpur itself. Our stop: Kuala Lumpur City Center (KLCC). This is the area the includes the iconic Petronas Towers. Once the tallest buildings in the world, these twin towers are now the third tallest such stuctures on earth. Lots of fun stuff to do in and around the KLCC!
Another day.... another Starbucks. Pa we missed you!
We spent a couple of hours in the "Pertonsians" science discovery center. A great interactive museum! Bella loved working the "SuperDig" machine.
Jake amuses himself while Icha and Bella do some exploring.
88 degress and sunny outside? No problem... Bella jumped right on this 'virtual skiing' ride!
Bella shows off her world class form.
Ma and Mark smile outside... the twin towers rising high above in the background.

Kuala Lumpur Part II
After an hour ride from the airport we arrived at our hotel just outside of Kuala Lumpur. Our room had a huge bathtub.... big enough for both Jake and Bella!
After her bath.... Bella spent some time reading to Ma.
The next day the four youngsters spent a few hours at the Sunway Lagoon waterpark. Great fun!
After a day in the sun, we headed to the Sunway mall attached to our hotel. Jake loved playing in the little indoor play area.
Ever the scholar... Jake takes a minute to sit down and curl up with a good book.
