Field Trip!

Scott had a 4 day weekend and so we went over to Kauai to explore for a few days. While the island is certainly more untouched than where we live, we lived it up by staying at the Mariott. It was a great weekend and we took a lot of pictures. I think I need to join Photographers Anonymous after taking at least 1 (usually more) of everything we saw. Luckily, I've spared you from most of our pictures, but as always it was hard to choose which ones to share! Although we weren't home for Easter, the weekend was still a success.

Happy (early) Easter!!

.....Its been awhile

It was a rough day when they told me I had to fly to the Big Island for training. Well the training involved flying over the active volcano that was puring lava into the ocean. So here are a few pictures from that wonderful day.

Hot Lava going into the ocean!!

Just a little closer!!!

Ok, well I guess I do too!!
Anyways we have more pictures from when Emily was here and I should have more soon from the volcano "training".
