We went to the Pearl City mall & happened upon these fantastic Lego sculptures! They are totally unlike anything we had ever seen before. I took pictures of all the ones we saw ... hopefully we didn't miss any of them. Check out Nathan's site!

4th of July started with a manicure/pedicure for the girls. Denise took Callie, Katie & Emily with her to get pampered. They ♥'d it!!!
We spent the day at a beach house one of Gary's friends rents in July. It was right on the water (literally) ... a great way to spend the day!

We had heard that sea turtles come up on the beach and surprise, they did! I tell you, we were SO excited you'd think we had never seen wildlife before. Anyway, after all our excitement & pictures we found out the turtles were endangered & you aren't supposed to go near them or touch them ... OOPS! We'll remember that for next time!



2 Turtles!
That night we joined Sharon & her family in Waikiki to hang out & see the sites.

Monday night we met up with some of Terence's friends from high school & their families for a dinner at Gyotaku (pronounced "yo taco"). Oscar treated all of us & I think a good time was had by all (except maybe me ... the food was a bit too funky for me) ... ha!

Awesome pics! I like the Geico on Callie's hair and I really liked how you cropped the turtles!

I'm not sure which is bigger in our pic your boobs or my stomach!!

Great sunset pic by Calob!

These pictures was great....I feel Hawaii calling....I may have to break down & go there one of these days.

The sculpture pics are far out, the action shots of the boogie boarding are awesome, T is wearing the NASCAR shirt (!), the turtle & gecko pics are very interesting, that shaved ice place certainly looked yummy, and I love the beautiful sunset...good job Calob and to Cheryl too for all the other great pics.

Awesome pics! I started out with some comments to remember early on, but totally forgot what they were. Looks like y'all had a great time! I don't get the feeling of overwhelming hot from the pics though. LOL

Oh, and I just had to add - I see you have the same problem I've had for a while --- your son is taller than you.
