Quick Photo Shoot

This evening Kinzi and I went out for q quick photo shoot until the heat and wind drove us back indoors. Here's a few pics...

Nathan gets to do it next!

More Hawaii Photos

I'm very behind on everything. I haven't finished with my Hawaii photos and I participated in a photowalk in downtown Tucson and I've had another chance to shoot the little newborn again. I'm getting the kids ready to go back to school in two weeks and am melting in the 100+ weather.

Somewhere over the rainbow.....

Is this gorgeous or what! Looking outside after dinner tonight I saw this rainbow and quickly grabbed a shot!

Two more Hawaiian Days Left

Aloha! Two day left of our Hawaiian Vacation. I don't want to leave but we've had a nice time with wonderful memories so it's all good. This week we've gone back to the other side of the island and rode horses for several hours. We didn't tell Kinzi and she was especially thrilled with that surprise. Yesterday, we geocached a bit. Well we found one geocache. It was about a 3 - 4 mile hike overall. However, it took us by a bay where we saw a turtle (usually there is a lot more we are told) lounging on the beach. It was fun but we are exhausted by all the activity.

We are determined to watch the sunset every night by the ocean. This is one from two nights ago. I've haven't' really made silhouettes before so this is my first try. Not to bad....I like the effect.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July everyone. We had a fun day. We hung out in the shopping area most of the day. We adopted rubber ducks for a rubber duck race (charity event for cerebral palsy). Our ducks didn't win anything. We bought our own fireworks and it took several hours for us to go through them all.  Nathan and Kinzi had a blast, especially Nathan. All in all it was a very good day.....here are some pics.

More Hawaii Photos

Aloha!

Here are a few more pictures!  This one of course is Kinzi burying Nathan....

Nathan burying his sister the first time...the one I posted yesterday was the second time!

The view outside where we are staying.

Awwww....she loves Hawaii!

Aloha

Aloha everyone! We are about to end our 1st week of vacation in Hawaii! This photo is from a week ago. I've taken about 1200 photos (and yes, your going to see each and every one of them.....just kidding). I've got lots to upload but I find working from my computer at home much more convenient,  so a lot will be uploaded after we get home. I'll prepare a few more while I'm here.




This was the second Kinzi sand burying that day. On this one, Nathan dug a really deep hole where Mackinzi is actually sitting down. He then made the funny little body on top....Kinzi is not normally that lopsided (i.e. check out the legs).    It was pretty funny to watch him make it.

Kinzi and Nathan received the obligatory first day sunburn even after putting on sunscreen three times. In later pictures, that I'll post in a few days,  you'll see we didn't get sunscreen close to their eyes and they have sunburned raccoon eyes.

We visited the other side of the island for a few days and stayed in Volcano National Park. We took a helicopter ride.    As a part of the tour we landed and were able to walk on 8 month old lava....will post pictures later. We also hiked the lava fields in the dark to watch the lava flow into the ocean. We weren't able to get very close and none of our pictures turn out but it was still cool. The park had lava fields and rain forest....very cool.  We also hiked in the rain forest. Chuck's foot is holding up pretty good.

Once we got back, we spent more time on the beach.

We took a break from the sun today and saw the movie, Transformers. We enjoyed it!

We get to shoot our own fireworks on the 4th of July and Nathan can hardly wait.

I'll write more later!!!
