ALOHA!
We just got back from Hawaii. We spent a couple days on Oahu, Philip got to reconnect with grade schools friends. His pigeon is back...
We spent time with Ray and also got to visit with Jarlo and Trigger.
We went to see A. Melga and U. Buddy also.
Jonny went surfing with his daddy, too!
It was so busy on Oahu...
We went to Kauai after that. 7 days in a beachfront condo. It was so nice. If we planned it right, we could have just bought supplies and never left the property.

We awoke every morning at 6am to watch the sunrise over the ocean from the balcony. We got to see the most beautiful view from the highest point you can drive too.

Jacob came home with a dark tan. Jonny can kinda swim now. Time for swimming lessons...He got out of the shallow end, ran to the deep end and jumped in by himself. He was able to swim back to the ladder and we caught up to him in time for him to tell us, "It's too deep for me!"
By the third day in the pool, he didn't want us to hold on to him any longer. "Let go of me! I'm going to be a submarine!" Yikes!

We took mom and dad on a Kayak trip and hike on the Waimea river. It was fun watching them argue and seeing my mom steer the kayak from the front. Mom and Philip even took a dip in the waterfall pool.

It was way too short...next time 2 weeks for relaxing. I do admit it is good to be home, but not too exciting being back at work. As I predicted, my work was still waiting for me 568 unread e-mail messages...
