Being Silly

On a warm day we often sit on the front porch and eat popsicles. The girls started acting silly so I took a few pictures with my ipod. I love these girls.

Adelyn wanted a turn taking pictures. I think she did a pretty good job.

Fourth of July

This year on the Fourth of July we did the typical: Kaysville parade and fireworks show with the Moss family. It is always fun to spend the day with family. The girls loved the collecting candy and waving to princesses at the parade. They also loved watching the sky light up with fireworks and eating lots of snacks.

Swimming Lessons

Adelyn took swimming lessons this summer and loved every minute of it. Adelyn is very comfortable with the water and can even float by herself. She has been working very hard on her strokes and swimming without support. We are proud of her.

Splash Pad

Summer is officially here and we are enjoying ourselves at the neighborhood splash pad. The girls love it!

I love these girls!

Art

The girls love to draw/color/make masterpieces. Especially Adelyn. I love seeing her drawings come to life. I had to document a few colorings.

Kauai: Days 8-10

Day 8: Check-out day at the condo. We were sad to leave, we loved the condo and the location. We went back to Tunnels one last time to swim and snorkel. That afternoon we headed to the east side of the island where we would be staying for the remainder of our trip. After getting settled and showering, we went to a luau at the Kilohana Plantation.  We took a small train ride around the plantation. It was neat to see all of the local plants, wild pigs and chickens. The food was delicious and the entertainment was fun. We had a great time.

 

Day 9: My parents flew home first thing in the morning. It was sad to see them leave, knowing we would be leaving soon too. After dropping them off at the airport, my grandma, Scott and I drove up the Wiamea Canyon. Awesome view of the canyon and Napali Coast.



 

That afternoon my grandma flew home, so we headed back to the airport. That night Scott and I went out to dinner to a nice Hawaiian restaurant. Yum.

Day 10: It was Sunday so we attended a local sacrament meeting. It was interesting because you could tell about half the congregation were tourists. At the end of the meeting, the ward gathered at the front and sang us an Aloha song and gave all the tourists a crochet lei. Pretty cool. Afterwards we drove down to the south end of the island. On the way we stopped at Waimea Falls, drove through the Tunnel of Trees, and stopped at Poipu. We didn't swim since we would be traveling home that night, but it was fun to sit on the beach and enjoy ourselves until it was time to go home.

 

Our flight was a red-eye, so we finally made it back home Monday morning. We were sad to leave but excited to see the girls. They were excited to see us too. If it wasn't for the girls, I think we could have stayed forever. :)
