O'Ahu Vacation! Days 4-5

Day 4 -  A day of relaxation and chillin' at the beach cottage. We snorkeled and kayaked there. While snorkeling Dave pointed out all of the sea cucumbers that were laying in the water. Very cool.

Day Five was a tour of the Dole Plantation which was a blast. Brenden enjoyed the train ride that we took there. Lots of mugging for the camera too

O'Ahu Vaction! Days 1-2

Time for our Hawaiian vacation! We were able to reserve a beach cottage on the Marine Corps Base Kane'ohe Bay - awesomeness. We had our own private beach where we could kayak and snorkel. Brenden did great in the water! We will definitely have to come back to this paradise.

Day 1 - relax at our cottage and enjoy the view

Day 2 - North Shore. On our drive up there we stopped at Kualoa Beach Park and had the place to ourselves!

Quick Trip to San Diego

We wanted to get out of the heat and visit Dave's Aunt Phylis and here granddaughter who were visiting his parents in San Diego. Nice to cool down and play!

Too stinkin' hot!

The Learning Pad Pre-School Open House and Brenden's First Day of Pre-Kindergarten

Our baby is growing up and is starting pre-kindergarten this Fall. Where has the time gone? This school year I will be volunteering as parent council treasurer. Should be interesting for sure.

One More Day of Fun Before School Starts

Water park, water park, water park! Thankfully in the August heat we have this fun place to spend some time! Brenden is so brave to go down the big boy slides.
