Another place, another grandkid (again!)

Thayne, Natalie, and Tyson joined us at Sam and Rachel's. We took the boys over to a park on Sunday evening. Even the big boys got in on the action!

Jett tours like his mother used to! (Only
she was a teenager when she'd go to sleep
while we went into museums!)

George Washington was quite the
innovator; he built "The Necessary"
(an outhouse) at his Mt. Vernon estate.
Here's Jett depositing his donation.

Ady and "mama" looking at the turtle on shore at the Place of Refuge.















Kasey helped Ady put on some lip gloss. Then Ady helped herself put on some mascara (boy! do you have to be fast to keep up with this one!)













We took a ride in a small airplane over the volcanoes and Hilo area.







While the volcano is still actively flowing, there is no safe viewing of the lava coming out. But we flew over Pu'u O'o and saw the steam close up.












You can kind of see the explosion that is made by the lava and the sea water when they meet; black sand is made instantly.











We thought this sign at the front desk of our hotel was quite funny.
