I'm a lazy blogger, what can I say

So I will just post some pics from my Mom, Jim, & Brandons Trip out & some new things we did, like...
-Went on a submarine ride (down over 100ft) and checked out some sunken ships, planes, etc. -Went to Kualoa Ranch & did the "Jungle Expedition" & "Movie Set Tour". Its where they filmed Jurassic Park, Lost scenes, You Me & Depree, 50 First Dates, Windtalkers, George of the Jungle, and Godzilla...to name a few. -Went to Iolani Palace & saw the King Kamehameha Statue -We also rented a boat again...it was a good time!

I'm back to work, no more vacations for me...not till November!!

The kitties are alive & well at the moment, although we have made quite a few vet visits this past month...keep your finger$ cro$$ed. The girls get more health care than I do. We still love them, even if they are slightly defective.

Underwater Pics

So we finally got the underwater camera developed... soo here are some pics (Big Island, My sisters visit, My Birthday).

These pics were taken at Captain Cook's Monument in Kealakekua Bay. Brian & I went kayaking out to the monument (only way out there), and were fortunate enough to be amongst several schools of spinner dolphins... once we got out to the monument there was some fabulous snorkeling. Since Bri is part fish, he got some great shots diving down. Enjoy!
