Rock n' Roll Kids

We signed Shelby up for a class at the Multi Generation Center. Her first class was last Friday. They had music, balls, things to climb on and bubbles. Shelby had so much fun. James was able to come too.





The Circus

We took Shelby to the Circus in June. She did really well the first half of the show. She sat on her dad's lap and they both ate popcorn. By the start of the second half she was full of wiggles and saw ALL of the stairs in the building and decided that was what she wanted to do. So her and daddy climbed stairs and then came back and watched some of the circus and then climbed more stairs. Overall it was great and I am glad we got to go :)

Hawaii Part 2 - Pearl Harbor, Whale Watching, Temple & PCC

Pearl Harbor -
Lyle took us on a special tour of the USS Arizona Memorial that is specifically for military and their families. It was pretty neat. We went to the boathouse that the Admiral's boat is stored. We saw a short film on the history of Pearl Harbor and then went on a boat (that held about 20 people) out to the memorial. It was Amazing!

Whale Watching -

James & I with Lyle, John, Andy, Spencer & Jacob went whale watching. It lasted about 2 hours. We saw nothing until the last 45 minutes of our trip and then finally spotted some humpback whales. There were 3 whales, we believe it was the mom and baby and probably a male. It was neat to see them so close.

Temple & PCC -
James, Shelby and I spent the day on the other side of Oahu so that we could go see the Temple and go to the PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center). The temple was BEAUTIFUL!! It is currently being renovated but the grounds were spectacular.
We then drove over to the PCC. Inside you can tour each island and see their culture. It was neat! We had dinner that night at a Luau. Shelby's favorite part was the purple bread and then we attended their show calle Ha A Breathe of Life. I can't even explain how blown away I was. It was a great day!

Our trip was amazing!
