Makutu's Island

How much fun could it be the second time? Apparently as good as the first. The kids enjoyed going down all of the slides and meandering through the tunnels. Liam especially liked the zip line and frequently butted in line. Those AZ kids are tough though, and wouldn't let him take advantage. (Of course that didn't stop him from trying)

Catherine got to go to a special class to learn how to hula. Ask her to show you.









When we got home Matt graciously offered to smoke us a chicken. The kids and I watched the process and were suitably impressed. Lots of fire!! Who wouldn't like that? It was exciting and delicious. Probably wont be able to get our own or Liam might burn down the neighborhood.





Liam is holding the scorpion I found in Megan's washing machine. Glad it wasn't real. But I took a second look before pulling it out. I thought she was pulling a grandma Lauerman on me but she claims she has no idea where it came from. Sure, sure...





Appreciating the chicken. Mmmmm...
