Mt. St. Helens part 2

Group shot on the Trail of Two Forests. Yet another great pic of Elise and Katie. The Mountain itself. The family on the shores of Lake Merrill. A great shot of the three boys on the lake.

Mt. St. Helens part 1

For my birthday, we met Brian and family at Mt. St. Helens. We met for breakfast at IHOP, hiked the Ape Cave and a few other trails, had a picnic lunch, checked out Lake Merrill, and had a nice finale with a Mexican dinner in Woodland, WA. Great weather, great day. Kae is already adept at feeding herself at 15 months. Katie and Elise at the park entrance. The WA Hartsells deep at the end of Lower Ape Cave. Elise and Katie playing. Jarom, Dallin, and Mac (chocolate face) playing guns in the rocks near the picnic grounds.

Maui May/June 2010 final set

A view of Molokai across the golf course, Kahekili Beach north of Ka'anapali, snorkelers watching the honu (turtles), the evening cliffdiver, and finally the lineup of aircraft at OGG as we taxi for departure. It's always sad to leave, but there's always hope we'll return. Obviously we love it there.

Maui part 2

The Hula Grill, one of our favorite places to eat on Ka'anapali. Mac pondering whether he can finish the Hula Pie, which is not found at the Hula Grill, but at Kimo's in Lahaina. The 10 of us shared it, although Mac certainly ate his share. I think adding the word Hula in front of things tends to attract tourists and is a good marketing ploy in Hawaii. Kt and Mc on the seawall in Lahaina. More views from atop the Sheraton.

Maui (abovewater) May 2010 part 1

Sorry it's taken a bit to get the rest of these Maui pics up. These sets are the ones I took with my regular non-waterproof Canon. A few overviews of the Sheraton, the pools, and the beach. Mac juggling at the beach just north of us (Kahekili) and Mac and Katie near the Whaler's Village on Ka'anapali.
