Reunited!

Miya and Thomas are home for the summer -YAY! The girls talk about them nonstop so we went to their place to have a playdate the day after they arrived. We are looking forward to lots of summer days spent together.

Beach Day!

The girls have been asking to go to the beach for a long time so we packed them up after school and went to the beach with Erin, Jamie and Jenn. We had so much fun! They played in the water and the sand and made sand castles. They are already asking when they can go back again.

Sassy pose!

Disney Store

The Disney Store at Ala Moana has been renovated and is wonderful. The girls are really into Disney, especially princesses so we went there for a visit. They have story time, have a parade for the kids and lots of kid friendly things to play with. Here are a few photos.
