Day 20 Sept 24

Monday Sept 24

Happy Birthday to Sydney! My little squid is turning 8 years old today. It's amazing how much life has changed and grown since we brought her home to our little apartment in rundle.

Top of my mind this morning was my iPhone. I was hoping now that it was fully changed my home button would miraculously be working again and life would be good. Not that I would mind having to upgrade to the new iphone 5 that came out this week, but it's a little sooner than I would want to do that. I picked up my phone and almost burned my hands on the bottom of it. It was so hot. Not a good sign at all. I looked at the plug in cord and it was even melted a bit on the top. I pulled out the cord, gingerly as it was very hot, and looked at my docking station at the bottom of my phone. Black. This is not looking good. I switched cords and plugged it in hoping it will still charge....

It being a birthday day here, I ran up the street to Foodland to pick up some more syrup so we could make pancakes this morning for my birthday girl. When I came back, my phone was still dead. It did turn on to show me the "charge me" screen so I am hoping there is some hope that it can be repaired. I'm thinking of all those pictures on the phone that I have taken and really don't want them lost. A call into and back from an apple advisor says the only thing I can do is to put it away until we are home, try connecting it to a computer and hope that it works. At this pointmiam having my doubts. :(

We had plans to run in to Lahaina and meet up with our neice for a visit. It was great to see her again and we enjoyed a lovely visit learning all about h ow the first couple weeks she has been settling in have gone. The kids met their next door neighbor that had two kids Brooklyn and Cammie's age and they colored and played while we chatted. They suggested we try Sure Thing Burger just up the road and so we went there for supper. The burgers were excellent and the kids asked us to place a second order to fill them up.

                

We left Lahaina with plans to head back to the condo but ended up detouring to Costco in Kahului instead. Grant offered to pick up another beach camera since our fuji camera and now the iPhone camera have both bit the biscuit. I don't want to use my dslr on the beach because the sand gets in the lens and wrecks the fine focus. The new camera will hopefully allow us to pick. Up some good beach sh it's before it is time to go.

At home again the kids were eager to hit the pool for a swim in the dark. It gives me a chance to check emails and Facebook as well so we headed in that direction. Brooklyn picked up a grade two activity book from Brain Quest at Costco and was determined she was going to do some pages at the pool. When we got home she did a couple more. She was pretty impressed with her self and eye 100% score she got on the work she did.

We tucked the kids into bed and put on a movie. It happened to be a Jm Carrey flick called I love you Phillip Morris. Now it's bed time as tomorrow I'm sure will be busy once again.
