One last aloha.....

It has been a while since I've taken a moment to sit down and record our family's latest wanderings....but before sharing about our new beginnings, I wanted to upload one last round of pictures of our last week in paradise.  Flipping through these files have left me filtering through so many emotions.  Great memories that make me smile, special people who we love and already miss, and so much beauty.  Truly God was in a really creative moment when he painted the palette for Hawaii. 

Mahalo Hawaii, our little ohana will miss you.....

Pictures taken at the Hawaiian Hilton Village where we spent 10 perfect days in paradise :)  I positively love these precious brother moments...

J warming himself in the hot tub.....while wild man takes to the slopes ;o)

The pool off of our room's patio....such a treat!

Row, Row, Row 'D' Boat

 



We walked along the beach to the International Market Place....made for a beautiful evening stroll :o)

And a scrumptious dinner for D and I at the Fish Market :)  (While the boys opted for burgers and hot dogs??? )

Our expertly-novice paddle boarder! 

They had so much fun paddling around the lagoon!



Venice may have gondolas....but nothing can compare to a paddle board with J :o)

 Friends....

whom we already miss.

 

 



Our Military Family's Farewell

 

Goodbye Hawaii....you have sent us forward with beautiful memories and lifelong friendships.

Wordless Wednesday :o)

While Dads Away....

....the kids will play :o)
Just a few pics from our Friday morning :o)

Keeping to the regular pattern of our beach visits, J spent his time digging.

 While E spent most of his doing laps up and down the waterfront.

 The danger of course always comes when they start collaborating.

 Not sure what you're seeing here....oh, let me walk you through this one. J used his epic sand skills to create a ramp, while E used his out-of-this-world Ethiopian racing skills to race.

 The problem came when apparently neither truly took time to calculate leg length, velocity, and the amateur status of our little long jumper.  

Foot to groin pic is tastefully not posted ;o)  But thankfully,  no children were overly injured in the making of this blog post.....
