Why do gekos like me so?

At least this one was on the OUTSIDE of the screen and not the inside!

 Welcome to Hawaii, Rachel!

I am so blessed that both of my sisters and my soon-to-be brother got to visit me in Hawaii before I depart for Wisconsin (yes, I did say Wisconsin!).

Enjoy re-living our fun-in-the-sun!

 I think Rachel's favorite part of Hawaii was the FOOD!  And as you will see in the next 2 posts of photos, we did a lot of eating while she was here!


Mmmm....snow!





























Mmmm...shave ice!

















Mmmm...Baja corn!

 More food!
 
Mmmm...garlic shrimp!















  Mmmm...hula pie!

















 Mmmm...Acai bowl!
















Mmmm...Pineapple Delight!

 Pineapples!!!

 Turtle watching!

 Waiting for shave ice!  :)












Near Shark's Cove!

 Fruit at the fruit stand!
















 Coconuts!  It's not the full Hawaiian experience without drinking a coconut!  :)

 Being silly...

 Rachel drew a turtle in the sand (if you couldn't tell what that was...  :)











 Waiting for the sunset and Sunset Beach!











My favorite tree at Sunset Beach...which I kinda photographed a lot as you will soon see!

 Sooo....Picasa has these new photo editing tools and I'm having so much fun with them...as you can see demonstrated in this post!  :) 

Let the creativity begin!

Our fruit stand spoils!













Rachel's first experience with lychee!

 Rachel's friend Rindy joined us for a hike up Diamond Head!






















Rachel and her hair!

 Almost there!
I kind of look tired...maybe it's just my age showing...










A view from the top!












I know I've taken this shot every time from the top of Diamond Head, but for some reason I thought it looked exceptionally good this time!







 Rachel, me, and my massive amount of hair.  It was a little windy that day, can you tell?
