As the summer continued, the kids still enjoyed being naked and we spent as much time as we could at the pool at Aunt Sherry and Uncle Saul's house.
The kids are growing so much and learning new things every day. It is such fun to watch them experience all these new things!
We are so very lucky to have our family close by and were able to spend lots of time with Bubie and PopPop and Aunt Teri over the summer.
Aunt Teri even taught Nathan to jump into the water.
After a few practices, he wasn't even afraid to jump, then "swim" to Aunt Teri.
For Nathan's third birthday, we had a pool party at Aunt Sherry and Uncle Saul's house with family. Nathan received a surprise phone call while eating cake from Juhani in Indonesia! Unfortunately, he was more interested in the cake at the time.
We were so glad Laura was able to join us for the party. The kids love her!
We also had a short visit to Charlotte to visit Uncle Rick and the family. My kids had a great time at their community pool. They enjoyed playing with their cousins and we hope to visit them again soon.
At end of August, we traveled to Hawaii for Juhani's wedding. We decided to go early and do some sightseeing. Bubie and PopPop left about a week before us and headed first to the Big Island of Hawaii. The kids and I flew directly to Maui where PopPop and Bubie met us a day later.
While in Maui, we took a ride on the Sugar Cane Train.
And, I think the hightlight of the trip (at least for me) was the snorkel trip we took to Molakai. The kids loved being on the boat, and Nathan even got in the deep water with us to snorkel.
Sela tried on the mask, but was more comfortable waiting on the boat with Bubie.
It was a long hard day, and the kids were worn out!
The next day, we took the very long trip down the Road to Hana. We made it to Hana Beach and saw the black sand and had lunch.
The following day was a travel day. We went to Oahu to get ready for the wedding in Honolulu. Mom and Dad made a very attractive couple in their matching outfits.
Sela and Nathan took their first ride in a limo.
It was a beautiful ceremony and we were so honored to be invited and take part in Sarah and Juhani's special day.
Of course, it was extra special because Bubie and PopPop were there with us.
The luau we attended after the wedding was fascinating - and the food was good too!
After the wedding, we took a day trip to a beach in Oahu with Juhani, Sarah and Laura.
While in Oahu, we took a trip to China town. Sela dressed up for the occassion and looked so pretty.
Here she is at the end of the meal with rice all over her nose and face.
We had an amazing summer and were fortunate to have spent time with some of our favorite people.
