Spokane visit

We had a great afternoon at this park in Spokane. My grandfather, aunt and uncle meet us here.

The kids had a blast playing in this spray fountain!

Here he is holding Ellie.

They love to hang out together!!


Ethan getting sprayed in the face.

A happy Mariah


Go, Charley Go!


Britt and Mariah.


A great lunch with the whole bunch.


Biggest wagon ever! The handle was a slide.






A nerdy photo, but we took the same one when we were little. 1/2 road is Washington, 1/2 Idaho. Our grandfather lives on the Washington side.

Mariah doesn't want to take the nerdy photo.

Miss Pout.


Mara and Ellie

Kids with their uncle, Grandpa and Great Grandpa. See the family resemblance? Just a little?

Last days in Hawaii

View from our dining room.

We were told to go down here to see turtles. Coolest neighborhood EVER!


I have no idea what this is, but its shell was hard and stuck tight.


Ronan was so scared! He is fine with a pool, but the ocean is too much for him. He came out choking and panicking.

The turtles were everywhere. I too, was too scared to get this close. They were so curious and would come right up to you. They were huge, over 100 lbs.

Charley was a little more brave, but clung tight to Daddy's back.


They started throwing sea weed in the water and we soon had 16 turtles we were feeding.
