Hawaii - part 1

i really do need to post a bit about hawaii now. but, the best way to talk about a vacation there is with pictures.


although, if i had to choose among my favorite parts of the trip, i'd have to say one of the highlights for me was sunday morning after becky and chris arrived. it was a rainy day and we just relaxed on the lanai of the hotel room drinking coffee and watching the rain come off the mountains. it was very relaxing and you really can't mind rain in hawaii. it's warm, and smells like ocean and flowers.


you know how jesus says that he has a room for us in heaven? i hope mine is in hawaii.
other hightlights:
the turtles on the north shore beach
















Abby making turtles in the sand at Kailua beach

kevin & chris burying Abby in the sand

kayaking in the Ko'Olina lagoon




Golfing with our friend Floyd (the first 15 holes anyway)








And, other memorable moments for which there are no pictures (in some cases thankfully)

deep sea fishing (glad i did it, but wont do it again)

fia fia night - especially abby and becky onstage

watching the surfers in the bonzai pipeline near sunset beach

yoga at the beach

drinking key lime coladas and watching the whales breach from the pool bar
