Hawaii

Made it through another trip to Hawaii. Much to the dismay of our children, they didn't get to go with us. We had a great time, but it really is different without them. So we take along representations of them so it will be like they're there with us. (Katrina=penguin, Camilla=giraffe, Bethany/Emma=elephant, Matt/Andrew=car)





On the Big Island we saw some waterfalls,







hiked across a caldera,


saw some great sunsets










and some sea turtles.









On Kauai we saw (and heard!) lots of chickens and roosters,





saw some pretty views,





some beautiful sunrises,










some more waterfalls,



two lighthouses,













and had a fabulous time kayaking. (This is not us, but these are other kayaks doing the same thing we did on the same river--couldn't get a video of us kayaking since our camera was safely tucked away in the dry bag.)


It was a lovely visit, and nice to be with our friends, the Hendricksons!
