Walking along the beach and getting ice-cream from whole organic milk and flavorings and filtered water. Posted just for Lyndsy!

 

 

Another day in Paradise!

 

These are the plates they served our fish tacos on.  They were all colors.  Mine just happened to be blue!

We ordered this dessert and it was seriously enough to feed four people and then a couple more!

This young woman was the owner of the Oceans.

Hawaii

It would be hard to chronicle our whole trip and probably would be more interesting to see the pictures than read about it.  So, I think I will just post pictures from beginning to end and I will comment on ones that may need a little explanation or reminder as to what was happening.  I will add that we had a wonderful time.  We stayed on Maui for the extent of our time their.  We were on Kihei side of the island from Tuesday to Friday and then moved to Lahaina at the Sands of Kahana and stayed their until Thursday.  We went from Lahaina and flew to Oahu and from their home. 

Between Tibby and Howard Milne’s time shares at both locations and to Maren and Greg’s buddy passes, we were able to go in the first place.  Hawaii is not a cheap vacation by any stretch of the imagination.  Milk, for example, is as high as $10.00 a quart – depending on the island you are on.  But what a paradise and we love the people.

Airport at Salt Lake on the morning of the beginning of our trip.

 

Neal and I were so LUCKY to be seated in FIRST CLASS!!  Now that was delightful! 

Our arrival in Hawaii and our first day of sun tanning at Kihei condominiums.

Two pictures I forgot to put in my blog of memories!

Ryan’s 11th birthday.

It was fun to be able to celebrate Ryan’s birthday when the whole family was gathered together on his special day.  Mindy brought ice cream and cupcakes for this special occasions.  She did make some that were gluten free.  Yes, there was a lot of funny remarks about which cupcake to eat.  Happy Birthday Ryan.

Random Easter Pictures

It was a fun day.  I love  watching my children laughing and talking together and planning the next event that will bring everyone together again.  We do have a home of love.  Neal and I are grateful and I know Judy is smiling from beyond the veil.  Happy Easter to all our posterity!  To my children, remember the real meaning of Easter and the promise of the resurrection.  Teach our children about this beautiful gift.
