Hawaii helicopter tour!

Yes, I actually got on a helicopter by choice and enjoyed it- the absolutely only way to really see the whole island beauty!

The Napali Coast

Waimea Canyon

Waimea Canyon is the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific"- very strange to see a desert canyon in the middle of such a lush green island!

Poipu Bay Golf Course

Lee got to play the Poipu Bay golf course in Kauai- it was the home of the Grand Slam of Golf from 1997-2006!

Hawaii- Beaches

Hawaii- Dole Pineapple Plantation

Hawaii- Pearl Harbour

We did our duty as Americans to visit the USS Arizona Memorial- and yes, that is oil that is still leaking from the ship- hard to believe!

Enjoying a beautiful fall day!

Braden & Maya

Maya had so much fun playing with cousin Braden this weekend. She shared her toys most of the time(although he only got to sit in her chair while she was sleeping) and she gave him plenty of hugs and kisses just like he was her baby doll! Braden is growing so fast, he is 6 months old and crawling everywhere and started pulling himself up to stand this week- Chip and Emily better watch out he will be walking around soon!
