New truck and a trip to a lighthouse

Thought I'd kill two birds with one stone on this photo. I (Mark) bought myself a new (to me) pick-up truck. We (Mark and Diane) took Christine and her kids for a drive up to the north of our island to meet up with our friend Dan who took us to see some local sights.

How many people can you fit into a Kayak??

The answer is five.

Double Birthday

Andrew turned 18 on October 10th, and Luke turned 13 on October 21st.

Christine, Louise, and Luke are here

Diane's sister is here (again), this time her two kids came too!

Swimming with dolphins!

Wow, what an amazing experience. A dream come true, awesome. We (Mark and Diane) swam with dolphins - a pod of around 3o swam under us, turned around and swam back around us. Then they jumped out of the water, spinning and jumping. Luckily we had our underwater camera and managed to take these fantastic photos.

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.
