Regatta at Hilo Bay

Saturday was another Regatta... this time on the other sideof the island in Hilo. Mom and dad loved it! it was a long day for me though... I had a race at 9:30am and then again at 4:30 int he afternoon! For the in between time we went to lunch with Alex, Alika and the kids, walked around the farmers market and explored an under water discovery center. We even made a pit stop at the cutest little candy shop! Too bad I had "taffy tummy" for my last race... I felt like we were moving as slow as molasses after all that candy!


That's me... second seat from the front!

Beach day with the Grandparents

Last Thursday we met Oam and Opa Kost down at Mauna Kea Beach for some fun in the sun. Dad and I did lots of snorkeling... the water was crystal clear and just gorgeous!!! Rhett had fun playing in the sand and getting GOBS of attention from his grandparents.

That evening Mike and I went on a date to the movies and when we walked out of the theater, we were greeted with this amazing sunset (yes, that is the view from the parking lot of the movie theater, Macy's and K-Mart) a perfect end to another perfect day!
