Girl meets "Koi"

Okay, I cannot take credit for this clever caption for this picture. This was out in Kauai back in June. Credit goes to my brother, Quinn. Every now and then, my little bro comes up with a brilliant thought. ;0)

Family Vacay in Kauai

5 days and 6 nights in Kauai....wished we could've stayed longer cuz it went by sooo fast.

Mackenzie had quite an adventure out there in the islands. Here she is at the hotel and engrossed with all the yee (fish) in the koi pond. Some of the biggest koi that I've seen, and Mackenzie also was able to point out the yah yah (ducks) and neow (birds).

Mackenzie also had a lot of time in the water, but it wasn't easy for here as she went through a lot of new experiences here. Her water time ranked in the following order.....#1 bath time (all smiles), #2 pool time (started to get acquainted with the pool) and #3 beach time (totally freaked out).

Daddy found some time to do some snorkeling and ventured out in the waters with his digicam and water-proof casing, and spotted a turtlein the waters of Lydgate Beach.

What language do you speak?

We're so excited that Mackenzie is bilingual because she understands
& speaks more Chinese than English. Then about a week ago, we
discovered that she knows a secret 'third' language. During dinner
one night, it appears that she is telling us something very profound
(while eating her Goldfish snack) but unfortunately, Mom & Dad
have no clue what she is saying.
Can you figure it out?

Ready for a Hot Night out on the Town!

Uh-oh, already the love of shoes has already begun!
Mackenzie is obsessed with wearing all kinds of shoes
these days. In fact, she's gotten quite good at it. Here,
she's doing a really good job at wearing mom's heels!

Little Music Director

Here's Mackenzie flipping thru some music and picking
the next song selection for Jen to play.
