Camping MaleKahana

Camping with 4 other families - had a great time as usual. Fishing, crabbing, Soccer, Surfing, getting DIRTY!!!! Christy and I also got to paddle this year which we both enjoyed very much. Forgot how much we loved to paddle. We both completed the Molokai Channel again this year and had a blast. Love to all.

Syd Birthday

Syd had a few of her close friends at a tea doll house dress up place. They had a blast dressing up, and having tea. The kids are having fun finishing up the summer playing with their friends. Went to see Griffin's play The Wizard of Oz, it was very cute, and Griffin did a great job as usual. Christy and I are having fun paddling this season. Fun to get back into it again. Hope all is well. Love Us

Summer 2011 update

Summer vacation was a blast. We spent some time in Florida at Disney World and had a blast staying there with family. It was awesome to see the kids faces as they experience the Wonderful World of Disney. Spent some time fishing as we always enjoy so very much. Now I have to do more fishing in Hawaii. Got to visit with family in the Carolinas and found all the Sea Shells. There are not more Sea Shells on the South Carolina Beaches thanks to our family!!!! Got to visit with family in Texas where Zachery lost his 2 front teeth. Hudson figured out how to photo shop Zachery's photo as an old man with no teeth. Pretty funny. We had a blast with all the friends and family. We miss yall, but also glad to be back home. Can't wait to see yall soon. Love us

Mothers's Day @ YMCA Camp Erdman

We had a blast this year for Mother's Day. We went to the North Shore YMCA Camp Erdman for the weekend. It was an action backed weekend with all kinds of activities for the whole family. It was Family weekend, focused on family activities. We did arts and crafts, swimming, archery, climbing wall, Alpine climbing challenge, Kayaking, Oddyssey ropes challenge, giants swings, camp fire songs, smores, shell hunting, etc... We are exhausted, but plan to make it an annual event hopefully. We met some people that know Maddy and Emma from Camp Matolly. It really is a small world. God bless, and see everyone soon. Love Bortons

Easter and MAX

We enjoyed easter with our new dog MAX. Sydney loves to dance with him, while Zak plays guitar. Hope all is well. Looking forward to our trip this summer.

Spring Break

Dad took a few days off to help with spring break. Took the kids golfing, and they had a blast. They lost interest after 6 holes, and who gets to drive the golf cart was more important. Love to all.

Doug's Birthday

For my birthday this year, I wanted everyone to race at the new indoor go-kart raceway. It was awesome. They go Sooooo fast. It was great having everyone come and participate. Real good adrenaline rush!!!! We also had the opportunity to meet Christy's sister Kelly on her dad's side of the family. She was vacationing here and it was really neat to meet her and her husband. They have several similarities. Aloha for now. Doug and family

Jan 2010 update

Zachery is having fun with the fun season of AYSO soccer. We went to the University of Hawaii speed and quickness clinic last weekend. Sydney just wanted to watch, but ZAK had fun participating. Sydney is in her glory raising the Monarch caterpillars, and helping them turn into butterflies.
