Last post before camp...more pics of Hawaii, garden update, and haircut

Just thought I'd post the last couple pictures I have from Hawaii. The last night we were there, Chad and I went on a little dinner cruise. It was a lot of fun. The food was actually pretty good, the guy singing was really good, and boy was it entertaining to watch all those white people dance to songs like "YMCA" and "Celebrate good times...COME ON!!!" Here's a picture from the first luau we went to. Paul was brave enough to get his camera out, but mine was safe under my poncho in my purse. And here we are parasailing. Paul managed to get these pictures as we went by the hotel. Believe me, it's us. Parasailing was a lot of fun and I'm glad Paul got the pictures, because they wanted to charge $20 for a roll of film taken by their employees, and then we'd also have to go get it developed. What a rip off!Here we are on the boat at the dinner cruise on that last night. Thought this was a nice way to end our trip, and the day. God's creation is so awesome. Speaking of God's creation...we came home to a garden that is flourishing! It rained quite a bit while we were away, and I'm sure that helped. Also our friends David & Tiffany took care of things while we were away...so a big thanks to them. We are starting to get little veggies on our plants. The zucchini and squash plants are HUGE!Here are the little seedlings that sprouted from a couple watermelon seeds Chad saved from Memorial Day. I think David brought the watermelon, so thanks again David. These are cucumbers. Who needs a lattice when you have a chain-link fence? I'm glad we have that chain-link fence that used to be the opening to the RV slab before Chad got rid of all that concrete and planted a garden. Those vine plants want so bad to find something to cling to. Kind of interesting to observe. And here are my tomato plants! They are doing really, really well. They have all grown to the top of each of the stakes. Now I'm wondering if I should have bought the large stakes. Even so, these are about 2 feet tall, and they are flowering, so hopefully we will have a bunch of tomatoes to pick when we get back from CBH.
Here's one of my tomatoes...I think it's a roma, but I can't remember.
Squash. We're about to have lots of it. And you are too if you want some. Same with the zucchini.
And finally, I became very tired of my hair over the past few weeks, so I decided to cut it off. See how unhappy I am?
And now, after. I went to a new girl and I liked her. I didn't take pictures of the back. I'm sure you can imagine what it looks like. Now don't get too excited because I posted a whole bunch over our vacation. It ain't gonna happen while I'm at Blue Haven. For one thing, in my spare time I will probably be napping or working with Chad on lessons, and blogging is kind of a time consumer (which is why I'm doing it now instead of packing and doing laundry, which I should be doing). Also, I'm not too keen on everyone having all their technology out all the time at camp, especially when we are trying to send a message to the kids that they should be putting God first and they don't need their iPod and cell phone for two weeks, and then we're all on our laptops all the time. So, other than to pay some bills and stuff, I won't be on a whole lot. This will be MUCH better than last year, because at that time we were literally one week from moving to Texas and I had to look at houses and take care of moving matters while we were in New Mexico. So glad I don't have to do that this year.

So, for the next few weeks, this blog will be pretty quiet. And if you haven't gotten yourself an account at bloglines.com to keep up with blogs, you should! I know I've said that before, but this is a service to all the parents out there who check the blogs every day. Just sign up for an account, subscribe to all the blogs you read, and then you just have to go to one website everyday instead of all of them, and it shows you which ones have updated. It's called a feed. Let's say it all together now...feed. Okay I'm done.

Miss us while we're gone, loyal blog readers!
