Andy & Stuart

Last week we had two soccer coaches from the UK stay with us. they were here for an AYSO soccer camp. Andy is from Scotland (Yes, we made him say "Donkey" one too many times, you know, like on Shrek) and Stuart is from Northern England. It was so awesome getting to know these guys! Learning about their home countries and the different English dialects was such a treat!

Needless-to-say, Cameron was in 7th Heaven. Andy & Stuart love soccer as much as Cameron, so pretty much all they talked about for a week straight was - how did you guess? - Soccer!  Cameron got to play with them and claims to have had the best scrimmage EVER (Tyler vouches for it) on Saturday night with all 5 coaches that were on the island. How cool.

We/they: played lots of Wii at the Greenleafs and Fultons - mostly tennis (it rocks!), went to Hanalei for a dinner/FHE with the Hanalei Branch, went surfing (body boarding) at Kealia, went to a BBQ/birthday party, played more soccer, played Pro Evolution Soccer on the XBOX (among other soccer video games), had another BBQ for Stuart's last night, rented movies, Cam & Tyler took Andy spear fishing (he caught rocks!), played more Wii, and last night, my parents made a cake for Andy's birthday! (his birthday is actually today, Happy Birthday!) so it's been a very fun week!

Makoa took an instant liking to Andy... and they became fast friends. Andy even let Makoa drive home from the Greenleaf's last night (SSHHHHH!).  So cute. Stuart & Andy both left for other islands to do more soccer camps and stay with other families who will undoubtedly love having them there! It's been a pleasure having you here, guys!
