Welbi ’Round the World

Last Christmas we relaxed for a couple of weeks in Hawaii.  It was a great time, and I cannot wait to go back.  While we were there, we borrowed some ocean kayaks for the afternoon and headed out into the water.  I brought my camera because I thought I would be able to get some great photos.  Unfortunately, I forgot that I had it with me when I stood up to get out of the kayak.  The camera ended up in the water.

For my birthday I asked Todd for a new camera because I know that he will have his all day during his Master’s program this summer.  I got a cute new Canon SD4000 in red, and when I put in the memory card that floating around our house, I found that it was the card from the sunken camera in Hawaii – and there were still Hawaiian photos on it!

So I am uploading photos from the opening of the pool in the Kobe Club, photos from around Kobe, photos from Kachoen and the lost photos from Hawaii here in the June and Lost Christmas album.  The order of the pictures stinks.  I guess it has to do with mixing photos from two cameras.

I am also uploading the photos of the girls taken at school this past year. Again the organization of the photos is horrible.  I will try to explain everything necessary in the captions.

June is always so bittersweet.  I love that it is summer and we have so much more free time for each other and for ourselves, but it is the end of a year, and people always move on – although not so many this year.
