Karl and Angela Rees

We bought a home. We are remodeling it. This is our story.

Pictures of Thomas (20 months) and Paela (18 months) playing together before Paela moved away. (Updated on May 31, 2009).

Thomas does his first (3) easter egg hunts. One was on Saturday with the primary. One was with the Easter bunny when he woke up on Sunday (oh boy was he excited to see the eggs--he threw a fit when Karl made him change his diaper first). Then, he enjoyed it so much we hid the eggs again. Oh, and Thomas had a blast coloring eggs Saturday night as well.

Since a service project was the next morning, we went camping at the church owned campground. There were several other families from the ward there.

Thomas water-colors, plays with Paela, builds a tent, trys on two hats, and goes to his class. Circa 18-19 months.

Our first campout of the year took place in a campground overlooking the beach. Rebecca, Wayne and Paela joined us.

We had a 6 hour layover in Honolulu, so we toured the Iolani Palace and ate lunch on the beach.

On our last day in Kauai, we decided to relax a lot on the beach, both in Poipu and near Waimea. Check out the boogie boarding! Too bad Thomas was afraid of the waves.

On our fifth day in Kauai, we drove up Waimea Canyon to Kokee State Park and eventually to the south end of Na'Pali Coast State Park, where we had a picnic, got wet, enjoyed wonderful views, and took a few hikes.

On our fourth day in Kauai, everyone (including Thomas) kayaked the Wailua River, getting out for a couple of hikes to see some gardens and a "secret" waterfall. Then we relaxed Lydgate State Park.
