It's so pretty!!

A step outside this AM told us it was a beautiful day (again) so why not take a drive to the North Shore.

It was interesting driving by the pineapple fields with the ocean in the background.    They were at different stages of growth. 

Ted's Bakery was on the list of stops.

A silly coconut Santa was hanging in the tree near where we set up camp.

Not your typical November Weekend

This morning we all walked to the Wright Bros. Restaurant to have breakfast.    It was so pretty sitting outside enjoying such an awesome view.   The kids loved running in the grass after we ate.

Yesterday we went to Moanalua Gardens where the Hitachi Tree is located and... 

the summer home of King Kamehameha V

the kids love the fish pond near the cottage.

Arrived on time with no travel drama

Tutu always has a few little things in the luggage that are fun to play with.    What a perfect pair of glasses for a little Hawaiian girl.    The eyes on the parrots move so it makes the glasses more interesting.

Mack had really changed from the last time we saw him.   He got a lot older looking.....and so serious!!

This picture is just to keep track of how they change in the coming years.    It is so much fun being here and enjoying this wonderful 82 degree weather.   It is so green and lush right now and the flowers are blooming like crazy.   
Just like home!!!

Brother Stephen

I have a very talented family - most are quite "artsy".   Just to prove this I am posting pictures of my brother Stephen's work (however, that is not Stephen on the picture).  This railing is being installed in a new home in Fayetteville, AR.

I think it is beautiful!!
