As you all know or have heard, the boys were very lucky to enjoy a week's vacation before school started to the Hawaiian Island of Owahu. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and it was fully paid for by thier Aunt Jodie so we let them go under two conditions: #1 they listened to Jodie and stayed with her at all times #2 They brought me back some chocolate covered macadamian nuts!
They had a great time as you can see in pictures. They rented these little electric cars that you can drive all over the island. They went snorkling and surfing. They visited the Polynesian center where they got to watch real live performances of Hula dancing and fire walking. They even enjoyed a real luau. Our friend Bonnie Allen who is currently working in Maui as a nurse was able to join them one of the days for some of the adventures. She was the one who took alot of the pictures for me.
Their trip was a success except for a little trouble in the end when their plane ride home got diverted back to Hawaii for some 'maintenence" issues. But they were furnished with a new plane and flew into Seattle Airport at 4 am! Boy were they glad to get home! But they miss Hawaii! They brought me my chocolate covered macadamian nuts. Six boxes! And they brought the girls official coconut bras and grass skirt outfits. Tiki statues, sea shells, coffee mugs and lots of souveneirs and knick knacks to remember their trip for years!
We are so glad to have them home! I am so glad they were able to experience this grand adventure! But...I'm not letting them out of a 20 mile radius for a while!
