Aloha!

Marty and I had such an amazing time in Hawaii. We did everything we wanted to do and had a blast doing it. The Sunday before we came home we visited Ana and Ben Char. I had taught Ana with Sister Chun as a ward missionary, which she still is after all of these years! She's now 83 and as adorable as ever. Ana and Ben made us a wonderful dinner and made me this delicious plumeria lei. Marty couldn't stop smelling it. He said it smelled like candy. The one he is wearing we got at the Polynesian Cultural Center a couple of days before.

Here I am with Sister Sally Chun. So cute!

Smelling a hibiscus flower at the Bishop Museum.



Marty trying to start a fire at the PCC. He gave it a good effort, didn't you hunny? It's harder than it looks.



Here I am trying to learn how to dance at the Tahitian village at the PCC. Marty tried it as well and was so cute! We have pictures...




Here Marty is getting attached to a ukelele. Ask us how it is REALLY pronounced.



Of course I couldn't resist talking to the sisters a bit at the Visitor's Center. The one on the left has been out a month and the one on the right is going home in a month. They were so fun to talk to. And like good missionaries should, they challenged us to give out some of the cards about the Church before we went home. We tried!







At the Christus. The whole VC has been remodeled and we have pictures of the rest of it. It's so much better than when I was there! The temple is undergoing a major revision and was closed. It will reopen in August 2010.







Our first night in Hawaii just walking along a beach in Waikiki.






At Pearl Harbor.









At the PCC. Don't we look authentic together in this one? We thought so. It's just so Hawaiian!


Sunset in Waikiki. What a sexy boy!



My sunset picture.


We went on a hike to a waterfall in Honolulu. Here is Marty in a grove of bamboo trees. They were so sweet!


Just a big old leaf in the rainforest on our hike.

It looks like you guys had a blast. I bet it was so good to see your mission again, and also be able to actually go to the beach and swim and all that, huh? I'm so happy for you, both. Take care of each other!
Love ya. Britta

How is the "name our blog" contest going? Any usable suggestions? :)

Ruth and Jordan said...

Congratulations! Britta's right about going back to the mission and being able to swim in the ocean. Thats one of the first things I did when Micah and I went to El Salvador in '05.
I'm Happy for you guys, especially you, Kindy.

Hannah Stevenson said...

What a perfect idea! I can't even express how happy I am for you guys. Life is wonderful!

Kindy said...

Mom - nobody has given us any ideas to name our blog yet! We were thinking maybe Some Rare Adair Flair, but we're not totally sure.

Oh, how fun! It makes me miss Hawaii. We're going to try to go to the Big Island this December. You and Marty are just too cute. You look so happy, I love it!
