Andy and I hiked up to the top of Diamond Head and
then Mom and I went for tea. We took a drive to the north
shore to see the sea turtles. And then drive around the rest of
the island. While looking at the sea turtles Andy and Leah were
taken out by a wave. They came up completely soaked and full
of sand. Scary at the moment but funny now. We also
went to a macadamia farm where we sampled all kinds
of flavored macadamias.

Abi and Leah took turns sporting the Curious George mask they
received at a birthday party. On our last day we did
some souvenir shopping and took one last look out our hotel
room before heading to the airport. We are so glad to have
Adam home and that we had the opportunity to go to Hawaii.

Our Trip to Gramps and Grams!

We took a trip to Grams and Gramps house for two
weeks! While there we drove north to visit with a friend from
college and her adorable family. We also rode a train, bus, and
water taxi downtown all in one day. The kids had a great time at the
Navy Pier Children's Museum. The girls cannot wait to go back to play.

Our first weekend Gramps made a fire to roast
marshmallows and make smores!

This was Abi's second time making smores, she was
really excited to have them again. After the girls had
their bath Grams sang them some lullabies on her guitar.
Leah was intrigued by the guitar and Abi danced for us.
It was sweet.

Later in the week we went to the Brookfield Zoo.
This is the zoo I grew up going to and lived right
next door to for a few years. We stopped at a park us kids
used to play at to have a picnic lunch before
going into the zoo. Leah enjoyed her time in the
butterfly exhibit.
