Grampa Hanson's Surprise Visit

Grampa is headed east for the next couple of months and decided to take a couple of side trips. The first was here. He got in on Monday and left today to head up to Idaho to see his granddaughter Cheri and her family. Then he's off to Michigan and Wisconsin.

What a treat it was to have him come!

Here he is with Paul and Adam (notice Nala stuffed in Adam's shirt?)


Robert works a graveyard shift and got home this morning in time to get a picture with Grampa and little Davey.


Had to get one of Ed and I and the two Daves.

Davey Update

The first picture was taken on May 18th and the second two were taken last night. He's sure grown a lot since I left on my trip a month ago.

Last Day

It was a little bittersweet awaking this morning, know that it would be my last day here. Erin painted our toenails, and we to pictures of our feet. This first picture is of Erin, Sienna, and I in the matching slippers we bought after the catamaran trip.


Then we brought in little Madelyn (don't you just love little baby bellies? It's so not fair that the same belly that is delicious on a two year old is repulsive on an adult. Why can't we stay this cute?)


Erin's church had a family BBQ at Lydgate Beach today. This area has some beautiful breakers.


They have made it family friendly by creating two swimming areas for little children have been created by piling up huge lava rocks.






Until today, Aidan has been afraid to snorkel, fearing he would breathe in water. But he gave it a try ... and success!




And of course you can't go to the beach and not play in the sand!


Watching the Watcher

Personalize funny videos and birthday eCards at JibJab!


We made the above funny JibJab video with most of the grandkids and as we were watching it, Madelyn thought it was hysterical.

Kalihiwai

We spent a couple of quiet days just hanging around the house with a visit to the local mall last night. Spencer has been on call (he's a life flight nurse) for the past 2+ days, but so far he hasn't had any calls. He can only go so far away, and today we went to the beach at Kalihiwai, which meant he couldn't come with us.

Kalihiwai is a cool little cove where a river empties into the ocean. This first picture is looking out to the ocean.


The kids really like playing on the river side.




Sienna and Aidan managed to catch a little tiny fish, and spent the rest of the time there in the pursuit of more.


Then it was time for a snack.
