WELCOME BACK MOM

Girls could not wait for mom to come home because they knew I'd bring goodies for them. Dale was happy too!

WE ARE HOME

Our brother, Nancy's husband, greeted us at the Kahului Airport. Funny!

Not a bad place to have a family vacation

Just playing around at the Trout House

GREAT DAY

Eating at Sunriver Grill and Bar.

Are you nervous about what horse you are going to ride?!

Nancy took this picture of Mae, Julie and I. We had a two hour scenic tour along the Deschutes River ending at an arial view of Sunriver.

SERIOUS BIKE RIDING

Nancy taking a beautiful scenic break.

After a good night's rest we thought of going for a serious bike ride along the river. After checking out the stables Mae was getting pretty good at three wheeling until... "why am I pedaling and not moving?" Well we noticed one of the chains came undone. A funny lady rode by and said "I didn't know they had stationary bikes on the bike path :0)"

A nice jogger asked if we needed help.

Let's try turning bike around and see. Okay, it's fixed. Chain is back on... until Mae started pedaling again. No! still broken.

Chrome Pony (AAA) to the rescue.

After, we ladies continued on and enjoyed views of the river.

AT NIGHT

we relax while....

Big sister Julie does the hard labor!!!!! She is so happy picking up after us that Julie feels like she is at home.

TESTING BIKES

Nancy and Mae think they found one that was comfortable...

Julie on the phone to husband. "I can't talk now I need to see if I like this one!"

Okay, so after Mae fell off of her 2 wheeler she tries this red 3 wheeler....

But wait! I like this blue Escalade. This feels soooo much better. It comes with a leather seat, hand brake and foot brake. No excuses now.

SUNRIVER SISTERS

Nancy, Julie and Mae are here with me (I'm taking the pic) in Sunriver having sister time.

DESIREE AT 4 CENTIMETERS

Could this be the last night Desiree will have dinner before her baby arrives? Enjoying time together is Ryan's mom and dad, Peggy and Mike. Ryan was busy working at Sarento's.

After dinner our girls were having fun lounging on the bed.

STILL WAITING

One day past her due date. Come on Ryland we are all waiting... Ryan's parents are here to help Desiree out after baby Ryland is born.

KINDERGARTEN

Then.... and now !!!

Maile very excited about her first day at Kamalii School.

Maile asked if I could cut one of the straps of her backpack. "Maile, you will soon grow so it will be comfortable to place on your back."

Hello! Did anyone forget that I am here and still part of this family too ?!?! (So cute)

MAILE

This morning Maile said "Mom I have a lot of bills to pay. I'm going into my office."

Maile learning to play chess.
