An Ultimate Adventure

Roy and I enjoyed the cocktail cruise very much. A combination of a great early evening, drinks and just being in Maui together makes for the ultimate adventure. It feels like we are "home" when we are in Hawaii.

Cocktail Cruising Maui 2010

Look at how relaxed Roy and Steve look here! Ok, maybe Steve looks more relaxed! All the Mai Tais a person could drink on this cocktail cruise! And Steve found the person who made them the best! We were there for 15-days and only went on two excursions and this was a blast! This is the first of my Maui series for 2010. We enjoyed a great vacation with great friends! This vacation was so restful and you will see more examples of our "fun" in my future pages.

Brenna's Beach Babies

I love these photos of Brenna's babies! Isabel and Rudy are true little beach babies! The one of Isabel in the turtle float was taken at our vacation place on Maui. She was just over a year old and really loved the water. The other two photos were taken at one of my favorite resorts on Oahu, Turtle Bay. See the sand on Little Rudy's head...that was my bad! I put sunscreen on his head and he liked to put sand everywhere! LOL Looking forward to next summer with my family in Hawaii!!

Alligator Alley

Alligator Alley is the first "roller coaster" ride Melanie experienced a few years back. From this beginning she has moved on to Big Thunder Mountain, the Matterhorn and Space Mountain! Do you remember the first time you put your hands into the hair while riding the roller coaster? I still will not do that. You go Melanie!

Fun on the Ferris Wheel

I love this photo of Michael and Melanie as they're waiting in line for the ferris wheel. We are back at the Lemon Festival. I thought I had finished but found more photos. They are quite a pair, these two. She is her daddy's little girl and she can sure talk up a storm just like he could when he was five.

Title Page for Lisa's Baby Book

Next week is Lisa's baby shower and I will be "in charge" of the baby's scrapbook! It is a surfing theme since James is quite fond of the sport. This will be the opening page of her book. I included the invitation that her mother and sister (Kathy and Laura) made and a spot for a picture of Lisa. I am looking forward to seeing the album at the end of Baby Boy K's first year!

Family Fun at the Firework Show!

Here is the family! It was so much fun to share "our" fireworks with our extended family! My mom, my brother and sister-in-law (Mike and Michelle Gavigan), and my sister Regina. The Jenkins' group has been attending for at least the last 15-years and we love adding new people to the group! The weather always seems to be perfect down on the football field and the chicken always seems to taste better!

Melanie July 2010

The Fourth of July is just another reason to have a new outfit! Melanie shared that she needed to have a fireworks outfit to wear. Is that a learned trait? I think it's always a good idea to have a new outfit and accessories for an event! Who's with me on that line of thinking? I think I hear Melanie saying YES!

Family Fun on the Fourth of July

Just a few more photos of Roy and my mother with Melanie. How special it is that "Gigi", that is what we call her (great-grandmother), is able to spend time with her great-grandchild. What a wonderful memory for the both of them! I'm almost done with the Fourth of July of 2010! Love the fireworks.....love the music, makes me feel like twirling a baton!

4th of July 2010

Here we are attending the annual 4th of July festivities at Upland High School. We added new family members to our group this year. Ok, ok, they're not new but it was their first time attending. Their photos will be on tomorrow's layout. We always have a great time waiting for the fireworks display and it is so much more fun when you have family and friends with you. More to come Thursday!
