Hawaii

A week before spring break I received a text from daughter number three (which will be know as hula-girl from now on) which said that she was home sick.  Being the self-sacrificing mother that I am, LOL, I said, "I'll be right there."  It was nothing short of a miracle that all three of us flew standby during spring break and we are very grateful!  It took two trips to the airport but we finally made it.

Notice, in this evening photo, the beautiful LDS Hawaii Temple in the back ground.  Yes, drummer-boy is really that much taller than the rest of us.  (youngest son wants to be known on my blog as whammy-boy) 





We didn't climb any coconut trees, like this guy, but we had a wonderful time.  We even saw Hula-girl perform twice on her cello (which is why she is all dressed up in the temple picture). 




 
We had so much fun drummer-boy almost didn't
come back with us.
