We got to spend a little bit of time with Darin, Erin, and baby Levi last weekend when they came to visit from Kauai. Tried to go stand-up boarding, but the wind picked up early. Instead, we just hung out at the beach.
"Nope, I didn't eat any sand!"
Here Uncle, try some too!
Kenny doesn't like the water much, so tries to run away from the waves!
The guys catching up... Darin and Garrett have been friends since elementary school, so whenever we get to see them, it's always a treat. We love their company and wish we could see them more!
Yes, there's a child under there = Kenny hiding from the wind and sand. Not our beach baby!
This little guy LOVES the sand. He decided to bury himself... then all of a sudden JUMPED up and screamed, "I hear a crab!" Of course we were all laughing and didn't believe him... but, low and behold...
There WAS a crab!
Kendyll (who has to touch EVERYTHING, even when we tell her not to) tried to grab it.
Good thing it didn't pinch her!
May is also graduation season in Hawaii. Since we start school at the end of July/early August, we also finish early!
This year, we have three special graduates!
Our baby cousin, Lindsey, graduated from high school! When Garrett and I started dating, Linds was barely a year. It has been remarkable to watch her grow and mature- makes us feel sooooo old!
Our second special graduate is Courtney, Lindsey's oldest sister; she graduated from the University of Hawaii last weekend.
Here's Kenny being silly with all of them during graduation
Addy visiting from WA!
During graduation, I gave Addy some stickers. She put them all over! :)
Cade and Papa
Finally, our last very special graduate is our own Cade. He graduated from preschool today! Unlike last year's graduation, where he just sat and didn't sing; this year, he was very eager to perform!
Cade was SOOO excited to get all the leis. He had seen Lindsey with all her leis the night before and was so amazed by them. Today when he got all of his, he smiled and was so proud... until he realized how heavy and hot it is!
The amazing and loving teachers! Hope they're ready for Kenny next year! :)
