Fun times with Grandma & Grandpa

We've been having a lot of fun with Grandma Jo & Grandpa CR!! We haven't done a whole lot, but it's been fun!! Last night, Sarah (the babysitter) came over and played with Dean for several hours so the grown-ups could go out for a nice dinner. We tried a new place in Lahaina - The Melting Pot. It's a fondue place, which was a new experience for us. It was yummy, but very complicated!! Joel went on a "team-building" hike today at work, so Grandma Jo and Grandpa CR hung out with Dean and I at the Maui Tropical Plantation this morning. That was fun!! Dean loves looking at all the flowers and plants and REALLY loves feeding the ducks (actually he probably enjoys chasing them more). There were lots of baby ducks too. We did the tram ride through the property, which Dean wasn't too sure about. After his nap this afternoon, Dean took a ride upcountry with Dad, Grandma & Grandpa to see the Jacaranda trees that are in bloom. I stayed home to update the blog and work on some crafty projects.
