Summer Adventures!

I feel like so much has happened since I last blogged!

Let me just sum up a few great things that have been going on in the Reynolds family.  :D

1.  We have a new niece and a new nephew!  All within one week.

Grace Mercedes Colvin, born August 3rd

 

and

Isaac Edmund Perkins, born Aug 8.

I am so sad that I couldn't be in Utah to see these two babies...  What a miracle little babies are.  And they are both so lucky to be born into such good families.

I am super excited to go back in September for a wedding and a visit so I can meet these wonderful little people!

2.  I started my new job!  I work for Ho'okele Care at Home.  I have one client now who I visit and that pretty much makes my job full time.  She lives in a ballin Assisted Living Center with rent over 5 GRAND a month!  I am amazed at this place... I enjoy getting to be with her and having a job that makes me feel like I'm helping someone is awesome.

3. Kayaking Adventure!  Mike and I went to Hickam Beach one day after we got off and rented kayaks - they are only 9 bucks an hour for a double kayak and just rowed out to sea!  It was a really great afternoon.

4.  Dolphin / Snorkeling surprise date - Mike told me not to make any plans on Saturday because he planned a surprise.  We drove out to Waianae in the morning and boarded a little boat that took us out to this spot where there were probably fifty spinner dolphins!  It was incredible.

After we watched dolphins for awhile they took us out to a sweet reef to go snorkeling.  It was beautiful!  I was nervous to jump off the boat into the water - that part scared me! But once I was in the water it was great.  Mike and I even saw a sea turtle and it came up super close to us.  The only bad part was the banana floaties they made us put on... 

Awesome, yeah? :P

5. Maunawili Falls - I hiked this with a friend when Mike was on his mission in Laos, and loved it!  So I thought we should go do it together so he could go see how awesome it was.. 

The best part was getting lost even though I had already hiked this before and walking around in a huge.. muddy.. circle.. :)

6. Sunday drive to Hanuma Bay!  We just wanted to go see what it looked like ... We still have to go snorkeling here, but we've heard it's one of the best places to go.

Loving getting to spend some time with my sweetheart!  :)
