After our elephant ride, we went into Bayon Temple (one of the many temples in the Angkor area). We assumed this was where our children would melt down…looking at ancient ruins can be a bit boring for little ones. However, as soon as we realized the temple complex was a free for all, the fun began.
Exploring the temple was like being in a large playground or going on a secret adventure to find a lost treasure. Becca and Isaiah loved running through the halls of the buildings. It was an adventure story come to life.
People still use parts of the temple for worship.
We all enjoyed exploring the temples: Bayon and Angkor Wat. Our adventure was more children than adult oriented, so we didn’t have a lot of time to take in history, but we all made memories.
When we returned home, our kids wanted to build their own Angkor Wat complex. We even included the elephants.
Olivia looked through these pictures several times! She loved them! We have 12th century cathedral ruins in our town and the kids can climb all over them as well! Nothing like walking on history. 😉
Can’t believe we got to share that experience with you! Thank you!! The pictures turned out great!
