Hat!

One of Cam's favorite words is 'hat,' although he is still iffy on actually wearing them.  That all might change with the hats a new friend of ours is making:  http://www.henryhatshawaii.com/

Yesterday, he participated in a little photoshoot on kailua beach with super-cute results!

The Fitchetts in Hawaii!

So we had a little visit from Cameron's Grandma and Grandpa Fitchett in the middle of October.  It was the first time they'd been to Hawaii since 1982!  I'm pretty sure they had a good time...

At Ehukai (Pipeline) watching some surfers.  Not the most incredible waves ever, but still fun!

If you turn this photo upside-down, Cam's hair is what Pipeline looks like on a good day

We took a ride on this great old train out toward Ewa Beach

Gorgeous scenery on the ride, but very hot. P & W Fitchett

This was the daily scene as Cam ran in to play with Grandma in the morning and I slept in... THANKS PAT!

We had to do some tourist stuff, so we went to a great Luau at Makapuu

Great location, lots of tasty food

Here I am making fire like a MAN!  see the little whisp of smoke there? SEE IT??   (maybe I should have posted a higher resolution pic...)

Cam danced and ran around the Luau grounds like mad all evening

Taking the pig out of the imu

Bye for now!!

Yellow

Just a quick post for now, hopefully more will be coming soon...  For now, please enjoy this little video of Cameron saying "yellow". He says it differently every time, the most notable differences being in the number of "L"s he manages to pack into the one word!

life on Oahu

Cameron's favorite hat: a yogurt container

cool shades

Lanikai with Daddy and Great Grandma

playtime with Great Grandma

we've been playing music a lot in the evenings lately and Cameron is really getting into it, dancing up a storm (even while brushing his teeth!)

Catch up!

It's been a little while, so let's go back in time to....
Cameron's first birthday party at Candlewood Lake!  We had a nice little party with great friends and family, swimming, boating, tubing, presents, cupcakes, and (best of all) a magic show by Great Grandpa Fitchett!  Our internet is kind of sketchy right now, so I'll have to load the little video of Grandpa's magic show another time... check back soon!

Sadly, it rained a bit!

taking his cupcake eating very seriously

"I want you to give me another cupcake!"

looks like Michaela had a chocolate cupcake :)

let's all check out Cameron's new toy!

the rain didn't keep us off the lake

 A little later in the summer, we were in Philadelphia visiting Nani, Grandpa, and the Rays.  Cameron loved (loved, loved!!) Nani's sweet car:

brrrrm!  brrrrmmmmmmm!

shenanigans in the Model A

The summer wrapped up in Vermont with Great Grandma, Nani and Grandpa:

What does a cow say, Cameron?  "Mmmmmmm!" 

yay!  So much dirt!

Woodstock, VT street fair

Can I just tell you how much I love the rain ever since Cameron got his little raincoat?!

love the pond :)

Nani and Cameron had a blast sending this mighty vessel back and forth

another great friend ready for a day in the water

we happened upon a polo match- so fun!

riding the gondola up Killington Mountain (Cameron's first!)

king of the hill (and mommy with an iron grip!)

great picnic, great company, and a great view!

checking out the soft moss

 The end of the summer brought us to our new home: Hawaii!  So far, Cameron has taken to it very well:

Cameron and cousin Morgan enjoying a tasty treat on the hilltop

the whole crew swimming on Lanikai: Pete and Cameron, Cosette, Daniel, Morgan and Amber 

footprints in Kailua sand

family pot luck on the hill

buddies!

Cam seems to be happiest when he has a fine coating of sand...  

"Sweet!  Someone left an old sandcastle....

for me to climb on!  Next stop: Mokuluas!"

happiest boy ever :)

this photo shows the huge grin on his face... right after he fell flat on his face, completely dunking himself under the waves.  What a kid! 

after all the sun, sand, and surf

Cameron is so thrilled to be living in Hawaii, he's even picking up some hula moves.  Aloha, little one!

You may have noticed that we are sadly missing many wonderful events from the summer including the super fun Miller family reunion!  Bummer!!  We're trying to recover a ton of photos that were mistakenly deleted, so hopefully we'll have more to share with you all soon....
