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!!!
