What a Day

Okay, still trying this out. I have added a play list of a few of my favorite songs. I hope that it works.

Onto what has been going on in our lives. We have just returned from a wonderful and exciting trip to The Big Island of Hawaii. It was the most magnificent place. This trip was very different from others that I have been on in the past. Those were all about laying in the sun, shopping and going to the beaches. This time we did a lot of sight seeing. This island is so big that all of the other Hawaiian Islands can fit on it. The first sight that we saw was called The City of Refuge, or Place of Refuge. It was so peaceful. The sun was shining. Some of the sea turtles were basking in its rays while others were enjoying the cool waves of the ocean. We took a self guided tour of the sacred grounds. Makhail's favorite place there was the Keoua Stone. Mark Twain said in his letters that this was the favorite resting place of Keoua, the high chief of Kona. Sara loved the Sea Turtles and she was able to have a picture taken of her very close to one. I loved the feeling that was there. It was calm and serene. I had the feeling of having been there before. It was so great to have my parents and my little family there. I would love to go back again.

I am so glad that you had such a great time in Hawaii. It sounds like it was amazing! What a blessing to be able to go and do that with your parents before they leave on their mission. I am so happy for them. I would love to go on a mission with Eric someday.

I am impressed that you already have a playlist going! It is fun to see what kind of music everyone likes. Sometimes I will hear a song on someone elses list and decide that I have to have it on mine too! It's fun.
