We had a great time at Wendi's

December 5th, we are at Hanalei Bay on the North Shore. When we would hear Christmas carols it seemed so weird, we felt like it was July not December. We all came home with nice suntans with just a few days at the beach.

Makel had lots of fun with Hailey and Alyssa and Abby, she loved playing in the sand and the ocean.

I bought Alyssa a grass skirt with coconut shells.

This is Alyssa at Fern Grotto, she loves to dance, but the video didn't pick up the music.

Going to the Fern Grotto was beautiful and we saw so many different trees and plants.

The Fern Grotto was up the Wialia River.

Visiting the Giles in Kaua'i

We all went to Kaua'i after Thanksgiving. We had a fun and wonderful week planned out. We arrived in Lihue Friday afternoon and started our vacation by going to the beach by Wendi's and having a winnie roast and boogie boarding, it was great.

In September my old classmates (girls only) all met in San Diego for four fun days. We were celebrating all of us turning 50 years old. We stayed in a condo on Mission Bay next to the ocean. We played in the water, did the bay, Coronado Island a couple of times, Sea World, La Jolla, Old Town, and the San Diego Temple. We laughed every minute, it was great.
