Over 6000 pictures...........

Have been perused (all of us made copies of our pics and exchanged with each other, we took about 2000 of our own), many edited, and my Snapfish album for our fantastic trip was submitted yesterday - a mere 86 pages short!

That's what I've been doing the last few weeks, along with end of summer activities, soccer and school starting.

A few family pics representing our stay:

Sunday - a rafting trip up the Na Pali Coast, totally breathtaking!




Monday - Waimea Canyon drive and hike, spectacular!
Top picture is all of us, lower picture is with my parents and my 2 younger brothers. My sister and her family were not able to make the trip with us.


Tuesday - Irrigation Ditch Tubing and pond swimming! Fun times!



Wednesday - Snorkeling with sea turtles, dolphins, and reef fish! The turtles are so cool!


Thursday morning - Tunnels Beach, more snorkeling. I can't get enough, it's so calming for me to don a mask and snorkel in the beautiful underwater world.

Thursday afternoon - Kalalau Trail hike
Words can't describe this afternoon, not just in its beauty; the determination my mom showed in completing this hike (4 hours or so) was so inspiring for all of us, my brother's and myself and the grandkids (a few opted to stay at the beach with Jay and Grandpa) - You rock, Grandma!

Friday - Ziplining over Kipu Ranch - thrilling!!! I'd do this over and over and over!


Saturday - checking out of our beachfront vacation rental. Great homebase for our stay!
We were left with 1000's of pictures and priceless memories to last a lifetime.

Now that this ginormous project is done, I am hopeful my mojo will return!
