Rainforest hike

We (Mark, Diane, and Andrew) all went for a two hour hike through the nearby rainforest here in Kona. Along the trail we saw a wild pig, but it disappeared into the brush before we could get the camera out.

Turkey Street

We have a family of wild turkeys that pass our house each dawn and dusk. Sometimes they even wander into our back garden for a scratch around. So if you ever want to come over for Thanksgiving . . . .

Anniversary Trip to Oahu

We (Diane and Mark) went to Oahu for a three day anniversary get away, and stayed at Turtle Bay Resort (what a view from our room!) on the North Shore. We had some spectacular beaches all to ourselves, and went swimming in an amazingly beautiful lagoon. Oh, and we stopped by the Dole Pineapple Plantation. The photos speak for themselves!

Our trip to Maui

We (Diane and Mark) went to Maui for a two day getaway. We drove to Hana, and went on a hike through a bamboo forest, swam under waterfalls, and saw the most amazing sunset. Good times were had by all.

Andrew went to his high school prom

Andrew went to his high school prom . . . it wasn't a 'Senior Prom' because there are only sixty students in the whole high school, so it was open to everyone. Andrew had a great time, and after the prom, five of Andrew's friends spent the night at our house. They all stayed in the downstairs apartment, and finally went to sleep around 5am!
