Staff Bonding in Waimanalo

As part of our teacher workday today, the staff took an excursion to different landmarks around the Waimanalo community. In the pictures below we stopped at the Turtle Pond which is the beach behind the Magnum PI's house. Marybeth, Sam, and Brynn

Another Package from Daddy

Dave has been sending Savannah some of the local fauna he's been seeing. So far she has received a cow and goat. Her latest animal is a pink sheep. She loves it! Her crib is starting to look like Noah's Ark, but that's okay. She seems to be attached to them all! If I count the camel that Dave got me in Iraq, she has to entire Middle East collection. Savannah opening the box. Notice her hippo shoes!
Reaching in...

and pulling out her pink sheep!

Kiss! XXOO Kiss!

Thanks Daddy! I love you so much!!

Dress Up

Savannah thinks she is a little Diva. She loves dressing up! She goes in my closet and finds things to wear. Her latest "look" is to wear a diamond belt as a necklace paired with my Crocs. Now, if she would only let me do her hair.....

So Stylin!

On the catwalk, baby!

Summer Fun!

The summer is almost over. My company is gone. The house is quiet again. Here are some of the highlights from the last 2 1/2 weeks with April and Claire. I had such a fun time with them! We did a lot! Enjoy! Savannah stayed on shore with April and Claire while Nina and I attempted Stand-Up Paddling.
Notice the board and no standing!

Getting the hang of it!

Looking like a pro!

Nina on the left. Sam on the right. Both off the boards.

Nina's leg. I fell off a few seconds later!

Here we are cruising out. We thought it was going to be easy.

Don't we look like we do this all the time?

We stayed in Waikiki on April and Claire's last night in Hawaii. Here is the view of Diamond Head from our room.

On our North Shore day. We stopped at the beach with the Turtles. April was so scared!

I'm trying to convince April that that turtles won't eat her.

Striking a pose at Waimea Bay.

Waimea Bay. I could have stayed there all day. We watched schools of Dolphins come and go in the bay. It was so relaxing.

The beach on Hickam Air Force Base.

The Flag flying on the Arizona Memorial.

Savannah loves to eat Luau food! Me too!

April and Claire cooked me dinner one night. We had tacos, chips and dip, cake, and Margaritas! Yummy!

We hiked Maunawili Falls. The girls had fun jumping off the rocks in the pool. I had fun taking pictures of them.
