Well, the "brains" tribe really had a poor showing in all of the challenges and their voting strategy and telling people that they were going to be voted off sure back fired on them. I was glad that they did not have to go to tribal this week.

Well I am the first to go :(
I figured when I drew Colton I had no chance...
Does anyone else think Hayden is the male version of Kat? I think they make a perfect couple :)
I am very curious to see how next weeks redemption island challenge ends.

This is a late post since 3 people are already out- wow. Can't believe Colton quit like that- kinda glad he is gone, even if he was my player.

I loved how last night John got to redemption island and was like well its good we are together now, and Marissa and Candice both were like "no! this is NOT good!

too funny.

Sprinkler Time!

We had some sprinkler fun this last weekend

Soccer Stars

The kids have been in soccer this spring. Here are their pictures. I think Ethan will continue playing but I dont think Audrey really enjoys it. I'm thinking I will try gymnastics for her next.

Happy Mother's Day!

That was a crazy tribal last week. I kind of wish malcolm would go, he is alittle too sure of himself this time around. I'm sure Boston Rob is loving all the mentions of him from Phillip.

Hawaii Day 5

After fighting traffic to get from the west end of the island to the east the day before, we were at,east prepared for it. we actually saw an accident this morning on our way to do the Maunawili Falls hike. we got to the neighborhood that hike starts in, literally just parked on the street of a neighborhood. we headed in about 8 am. we got poured on for about 15 minutes. it was very muddy and slippery on the hike and we got lost at the end, we had gone up a stream maneuvering through the rocks when I decided to pull out my iPhone and check where we were. luckily I found a persons blog who posted pictures and I saw where we made a wrong turn. We went back- found the falls, but was a little hesitant to swim in the murky waters. So we took pictures and headed back out.

We saw about 8 people coming in as we left. And we were proud to say we got to the falls first that day.  That hike was 2.8 miles and my keens might have irreparable damage done to them (mud stains).

We then drove to diamond head. A much more touristy populated paved path type hike. It was cool though we hiked to the top and got some amazing pictures of the island. That hike was 2.3 miles total. After these lengthy hikes I planned to gorge myself with a burger and beer :).

We went to Waikiki to eat and planned for a beach day for the rest of the day. We had to walk a good mile from where we parked to finally eat. We ate at Dukes on the beach. Sooo good and my first Mai Tai.  It was tasty but not that special. I also tried a kona brewing company beer. Yummy too.
Ryan and I went to the beach. I wanted to go into the hot tub of one of the hotels but Ryan would not play along. Soon after we layed our stuff down it started pouring... we decided to walk around the touristy area. Bad idea because our feet were all sandy and soon both our feet were ripped to shreds from our flip flops. it was a long painful walk back to the car. we then went back to chads and ate some taco salad.
That night we watched the movie Rendition. it was really good but sad too. I cried :)

Hawaii Day 8

We are sitting in Dallas airport now...waiting to go home! After flying all through the night we are ready to be back on Virginia soil!

Hawaii Day 6

Our last full day here...we've had so much fun but are missing our babies so much. It's been so nice to get to FaceTime with them daily. And I know they are having a great time with Grammy, Grampy, and Auntie B.
Today we planned to paddle board again and then spend the rest of the day at the beach. Well it was pouring rain so that put a huge damper on everything. We ended up walking around Haleiwa and shopped and then ate at Cholo's Homestyle Mexican restaurant. It turned out to be national margarita day! So we had to have one. We made our way back to the beach and swam a little. We also saw a few sea turtles. They have HUGE heads. I almost had enough nerve to snorkel in the water with them, I had everything on, went underwater and felt the panic set it... It was a no go.
It was cool to see them though, even if I didn't snorkel to see them.

We headed back to Waipahu to go to dinner at the Disney Resort Restaurant - monkeypod. It was delicious. I got the dry mien which was Hawaii noodles with tofu. Sooo good. We also tried the 'downtown brown' beer which was so good too.
