Hawaii Vacation May 2012

Mason & Corben greeted with a cereal lei

Corben & Papa John 

Our family at the start of our vacation

Love the fragrant leis  

Notice Mason brought her American doll Bitty Baby and even matched clothes with her in flight! 

Greeted by Papa John & Meme 

Meme put tiny toys in water balloons, filled them up with water and froze them.  Then cut off the balloon and the kids played with the ice balls in the pool and found surprise toys!

Corn Rows & Garden update

We planted our Corn!

Three rows with sunflowers along the east and west sides

Caleb put a nice fence around with a gate

The kids are putting rocks all the way around to keep the mesh fence down and the rabbits out. (more pictures to follow) 

Our squash...all from seed is taking off! 

Corben pointing to his rows of carrots

I think we are supposed to thin them out, but it is hard to take any...we are going to leave them and see how they turn out. 

Blocks

Cheryl made the kids colorful blocks with the alphabet painted on 

Corben spelled his name and his sister's name 

Had to throw this pouty face in...she thought I took too many pictures of brother and had me come back and take more pictures of her...however, she was pouty and refused to smile. silly girl.
