Yo, Scott!

We've had a crazy couple of weeks here lately. And when I say "crazy", I mean "crazy fun/good/busy". Our really good friend, Scott, came to visit, and we spent tons of QT with him, showing him around the island, hanging out, and just plain having fun. He kept a blog of his visit, and did such a great job of it that I'm just going to link it now! He also posted *tons* of pictures at his Picassa site.

All 3 kids instantly adopted him, assimilated him into their social circle, and proceeded to pummel him with requests and demands. He VERY good-naturedly humored them in most things, and just basically was the best Uncle EVAR. He even kept an eye on them a couple times, so Quinn and I could go on dates. The day after he left, Nate was despondant when he asked if we could "go wake up Uncle Scott" now, and I had to remind him that we'd taken Scott to the airport the day before. (While we were dropping him off on Friday, Naomi kept insisting that she was going back with him - ready to jettison us with no hesitation at all!!)

It's always such great fun to show friends & family around the island, and share all the sights with people you care about. We had a couple "down" days while Scott was here, but for the most part, we were on the move, checking out all sorts of locations, activities, and foods. It's also a great excuse for us to get out and do some things that we wouldn't normally make time for, like going to the Paradise Cove Luau, which I always enjoy.

What would be really stellar, of course, is if we could lure some of our visitors to move out here with us! Think of the vacation travel savings!! ;)

Thank you again, Scott, for spending time with us!!
