August Events

Thanks to Grace, our blog audience has been able to view photos from our month-long visit to Utah, Nevada and California. Now it's August and we are back in school, living our Laie lives. Here are pictures of the first day of school, playing with legos, innovative baking with a rice cooker (thanks to Andrew for the idea) and celebrating our anniversary. Jim has now been married to Beth for as long as he was not married to her. We hiked up to Laie falls. The views and the cold swim made for a memorable celebration.
