Well, somehow we pulled it off. We managed to actually leave our kids for over 10 days and enjoyed some R&R...I mean work...in Tahiti. It was an incredible trip and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Here we are on our way to the island of Moorea on the Ferry.This is Cook's Bay, one of the two main bays on Moorea

Here we are at Opanohu bay, the other main bay on Moorea.



We rode these little buggies around Moorea...it was awesome..check the videos for more.

It was a little painful...but we managed to climb the coconut tree for this picture...

Here is Katie at the docks of our hotel as we headed out to the "motu" a small uninhabited island for lunch.





The videos...

Off roading in the buggie...it was a little bumpy...

These are called "Jack" fish. A local restaurant on Tahiti keeps a bunch of them in a pen outside their restaurant and uses them as...well, a garbage disposal. They are super agressive carniverous fish....imagine a freaking HUGE parana. They feed them all of their organic scraps.
Cool Tahitian fire dance...
Here is Katie on our cruise with the dolphins...it was really cool.

I've been meaning to call Katie to ask about your trip, but I wasn't sure when you guys got back. It looks like you had a great time. I loved the videos as well. I bet you were excited to see your kids!
Oh, and the Halloween pictures were darling. Joshua wins the prize for being the most like "Moe". They were all cute, don't get me wrong, he just fit the character the best! Now, more pictures of your house. Maybe at Thanksgiving or something. Hopefully we'll see you in Utah!
Wow...looks like you guys had a great time. I bet it was nice having a little time to yourselves. Robb and I are headed to Thailand in about 2 weeks. It's "kinda" a business trip. Can't wait for the getaway. :)

Hey Katie and Cim!!! I remembered you had a blog, and I just started one when we had the baby, so I thought you might want to see some pictures! Looks like you had an amazing trip to Tahiti. I am so jealous, but I can't think of two people who deserved it more. Glad you got some R & R... Hope all is well for you and your family. We miss you here in UT!! Take care and talk to you soon! Love you
So my brother knows all about Devin from you guys. I cannot wait to meet you. Maybe we will be able to come visit sometime in 2008!! Thanks for taking care of little Elder McFadyen. Love: Ashley Christensen
Cim and Katie, I'm so glad you guys made it to Tahiti together. Your photos bring back the memories. What an amazing place that is, huh. I'm glad that no one got their finger bitten off by a baracuda!
