Here are a few pictures of Bruce taking down a tree in his backyard in Tahoe.

We went to Tahoe this weekend to check on the construction. The new pictures of the construction and views are here. While we were there with the Schwartz’s, we went to Meek’s Bay. Zeki and Katy rented a kayak and all the kids had a good time riding on it.
We are back from our trip to Maui. Our flight was late, so we got in around 2am this morning. We are all a bit tired today. In the picture are some friends that Katy, Margaret, and Sam made while we were there. Sophie is the older one and Zoe is a little younger.

Construction Update
Bruce was nice enough to send us some pictures of our house going up in Tahoe. The exterior of the first floor seems to be framed. Next time we are up, hopefully some of the second floor will be done as well.
We did a lot of swimming in Hawaii this year like always. Margaret made leaps and bounds. She is able to swim around a bit and is pretty good with a snorkel and flippers. See the movies.
Yesterday, Elizabeth went to the leper colony on Molokai. Pictures are here.
Elizabeth went snorkeling and got some pictures. Check out the movies of the turtles. Katy snorkelled a little as well. Sam and Margaret got to look at the fishes through a view board (basically a board they can float on with a window in it to look through). Margaret ended up doing a little real snorkeling in the ocean a few days later.
The kids all had a Hula lesson at Kapalua again this year. This was the day after we got to Maui, so the kids were pretty tired.
We arrived on Maui today. The kids were good on the plane. Once we got here, we went for a swim for a while so Elizabeth could go to the grocery store and get us settled in. We saw a rainbow over our condo late this afternoon.
Margaret is taking a cooking class this week. Yesterday, she had her picture on the front page of the local daily paper. The caption underneath reads: “Margaret Greer, 6, tastes the fresh homemade yeast rolls and “best-friend” soup that she and her classmates made in the kitchen of Sur La Table in Los Gatos during a weeklong Junior Chef Academy Camp. Children 6-8 learned kid-friendly recipes they’ll make during the five-day camp.
