ALOOOOOHA!

We highly recommend a trip like this to ANYONE who lives in a frigid, grey, wet, or snowy place during the winter months. TREAT YOURSELF! Go to the tropics with your family and RELAX! FROLIC! LAUGH! wear nothing but sunscreen BECAUSE ITS WARM ENOUGH TO!

We had a FANTASTIC time with some of the Nebeker clan - those who weren't able to make it were SORELY MISSED! But we'll make you a pineapple & mango smoothie the next time we see you, no worries!

We visited the Big Island which meant both of us got to hang out with old friends we hadn't seen in a while.
A BIG MAHALO TO KRIS AND BOYS FOR A GREAT TIME PADDLING, EATING SUSHI, AND BREAKFAST ON THE LANAI!!

We saw turtles, spinner dolphins, geckos, wild turkeys, wild goats, WHALES, and all other manner of island wildlife - even a 5 inch centipede. Dad tracked down the wild pigs every morning we were there. We snorkeled, hiked, combed beaches for shells, and fell asleep in the shade of palm trees, and read our little hearts out. It was more than relaxing......except for when Aaron sliced his foot on lava rock, when Holly was impaled by a sea urchin, or when Avery was awake racing around exploring EVERYWHERE!!! And let's not forget the torrential rainfall that drenched us at the beach....

Good times were had by all. Let's do it again!
