Another wonderful day in Paradise! It was sunny and just a great day. Maddie and Dylan loved having Makoa here... but soon that wasn't enough for Maddie. She wanted Lauren to play with so I asked Amanda and she ok'd it. Andrew and Lauren came over and it was fun. Dylan and Andrew mostly played with Makoa while the girls were outside with Gregory. So everyone was happy. Especially Makoa!!! I did get him down for a nap and he was waking up outside when Kapono showed up. He was happy to see him but then only wanted me and cried. First time! I am sure he was asleep by the bridge. ;D
Of course, Maddie spent time with her dog!!! They were wrestling over his hedgehog in his mouth. He grabbed it tight so she couldn't take it away. lol
After Makoa left we cleaned up the place and got things packed. Lauren and I made deviled eggs (Maddie came in and asked why she couldn't help... I said "it's eggs"... she said oh and went back out to play with Gregory. Andrew made his favorite potatoes.... Sour Cream and Chive! He did the whole thing himself (I know it is boxed... but he loves them) and packed it up and brought it. He contributed to the potluck. Then we took off to the potluck at mom's! We started it down in the garden... however the bee's were wanting our food. So we moved up to the room next to mom's. It was real nice. And real hot!!!! We opened windows and brought in a fan but it really didn't help much. Tara and Riley brought roasted chicken that was so good and tender... and rolls with butter. Num. And Joel and Karla brought her famous Chinese Chicken Salad everyone loves. Libby and Emerson came... she brought macaroni salad. And with the deviled eggs and Andrew's potatoes... we had some great food! Seemed like everyone enjoyed it! Unfortunately.... I didn't get any pictures! Not til clean up! Of course, sweet Tara and Riley stayed for it! xoxo! Got pictures of the end!

Meanwhile the guests of honor are back in mom's apartment resting! And reading. lol
It was alot of fun. Mom LOVED seeing everyone... especially Joel. He is one of her favorite people! So he got a huge hug! Mom looked really good. I hope they enjoyed themselves. Lindsey always does. ;D

Lauren and I went to walmart and printed some pictures for my aunt from the reunion at Bob's. We dropped them off with her and I took Lauren home.

Today looks quiet so far.... I will have Makoa. He will miss the kids today. I hope you all have a great day doing what makes you happy! xoxo
