Aloha!

We have just returned from an 11 day Hawaiian adventure.  It was so wonderful to take my kids to see all the beautiful sites of Hawaii.  We stayed on the Big Island for 5 days and then headed to Maui for the final part of our trip.  We took lots of hikes, walked the Volcanoes National Park, ziplined in Maui, went snorkeling, went to a luau, toured Mac nut farms, saw waterfalls, black sand beaches, mountains and spent a lot of time in the pools and beaches.
We all had a blast--and we are taking our time adjusting back to east coast time :) Luckily, it is the summer so we have some flexibility to do so.

So, while I do not have project to share today...I did want to share a picture from our trip:
 

This was taken on the Big island at a luau.  The kids loved it.  The fire thrower was an especially good one so they were all enthralled with his performance.
I am working to get caught up on laundry, house work, etc.  We are throwing my daughter a sweet 16 party this weekend and then I will be back to share some projects with you :)

Thanks for stopping by!

What a wonderful family photo! You are quite a photogenic bunch. I have very fond memories of Hawaii. I was married on Kauai and honeymoon'd there. So glad you were able to visit two islands.

How fun! Tom and I have been to the Big Island and we are thinking about going back in October to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary (which was June 18th). We went to the Big Island for our 25th. We saw the black sand beach. Did you hike out to the green sand beach? We also toured the Mac nut farm. So glad you had a wonderful time. Love the family picture and what a keep sake. Hope you will scrap that one! Rest up and stay cool!
