Hawaii

I spent the first two weeks of July in Hawaii with my family. My brother Joel and his wife Mary live there with their three kids. It was soooo much fun to spend time with them and see a bit of their life. My mom and dad also came to visit during that time. It was a switch in thought for me to have to refer to them as grandpa and grandma!

The following are pictures of my time there...


My nephew Asher and my niece Anna playing in the sand.

Beautiful Hawaii!

I swam with sea turtles. Actually, I ran away from them when I realized there was one on either side of me. They are pretty amazing to look at...from a distance. :)

Mara, you say "It was a switch in thought for me to have to refer to them as grandpa and grandma!" It is just as hard for me to think of my little brother as a grandpa. It just cannot be!
