Day 7

We spent most of the day relaxing and swimming in the pool at the resort. The girls loved the water slides.

McKenna went on the rope swing at least 50 times.

Colby finally got use to the water and loved it.

Scott talked his mom into taking scuba lessons with him. Scott was going to go in the ocean on a scuba dive but it was cancelled due to murky water. Too bad I had a little cold and could scuba.

We also went and did some shopping, got some pizza and shaved ice with Maui milk.

Scott and I enjoyed the hot tub by ourselves while watching the sun set. How romantic.

Day 8

Statue of King Kamehameha, first king of Hawaii. He united all the Hawaiian Islands together.

Sad to say good bye.

Woke up to our last morning in Maui. Grandma and Kenna enjoyed their last daily walk along the beach. We enjoyed some time on the Lanai taking in the beauty of Hawaii. Took a few more pictures. Packed up. Said Aloha and headed to Wendy's for lunch, then took back the rental van and headed to the airport to catch the plane for our 4 and a half hour flight back to Portland. The girls watched the newest Ice Age movie, we had lots to drink and enjoyed our snacks on the plane. Colby was a little cranky on the plane ride where grandpa Cutler notice he just cut his first tooth and the second one ended up coming through three days later. We sure loved Hawaii and can't wait to go back. What a wonderful time we had.

Plane ride back to Portland. Then we took a bus to our car and headed to the Hampton Inn for the night.

DAY 9

Monday morning we drove from Portland to Kennewick, WA where we visited Cam's cousin he last saw 30 years ago. Had a nice visit and then went to Wendy's for lunch and headed back to Spokane to complete our trip.




On our way out of Portland we stopped for a second to look at the Multnomah Falls.

Halloween

Our visitors for Halloween are Nephi, a cat and Eeyore.

Six Months

Colby is six months old today. He decided to eat
his tie instead of cake to celebrate.

Beautiful sweater and hat that great grandma Baldwin made.

Don't they look so serious. We tried to get Colby to smile.

The kiddos!!!!!

Fall Time

The girls wanted to earn some money, so they raked up the leaves in the front yard yesterday, just in time for a gust of wind to come two hours later and knock down a whole new pile of leaves to rake for next weekend.

Our life the last couple of weeks.

We have had a busy last couple of weeks. In six days McKenna had three Cross country practices and one meet. Plus two soccer practices and two games. She sure got her exercise and the next week was the same minus 1 soccer game. She has been busy. She stays in at recess to keep up on her homework.


McKenna with her cross country friends.
She came in 3rd two of her meets and the All-City
she was somewhere in the teens. She did well and
was the shortest of all the girls.

She is the second girl in the red.

Shantae is enjoying soccer.
