More Hawaii



One of the highlights of our trip was a tour we took to the Mauna Kea summit to watch the sunset. You start out at about 3 in the afternoon and get back around midnight. You get about half way up and you stop for a dinner of stew and corn muffins. The place where you stop is a group of very old buildings put there by the Parker Ranch. They believe that Robert Lewis Stevenson stayed here before he made his ascent of the mountain. It was chilly up there and the stew was warming and delicious.

I'm sure you have heard of "The Red Hats", well these are the black hats of Kona! Nice!



Dave and Augie, Gramma Jacquie and Kaylene, just checkin' out what is in that ocean! How much fun can it be!

The top photo is of the little folks doing what they do best. They found a fountain and proceeded to splash in it! The bottom photo is of Martha and Augie up at Kilauea Volcano. I'll post more in a couple of days.

Hawaii



As many of you know, we spent the last week of June on the big island of Hawaii on the Kona coast. There were eleven of us. Dave and I, with our son and daughter in law and their daughter, our daughter and son in law and their son, our daughter in laws parents and sister. We had a wonderful time. The above photos are of some of the incredible scenery which seems to abound there and a statue of King Kamehameha. Three of us took a little trip up around the top of the island and took these photos and many more.
