First Visitors to Paradise, Zoe and Hazel Stone


Zoe and Hazel arrived late Saturday night and went straight to their little rented space in Kahuku. On Sunday after church we went exploring around campus and met the Hawkins family from Utah dropping their daughter here also. Hazel now has a friend...LOL. We then went to the "point" which from the pictures you can see that the ocean is extra turbulent and exciting because of the pending hurricane just off the big island...perfect timing for a holiday in Hawaii, Right??
It was actually very beautiful and the huge waves and water kept splashing up and you could smell and taste the salty water that crashed all around us making everything damp and cool. People thought it was so windy but for us it was just like a normal windy day in southern Alberta.....minus the salty wetness.

When Zoe went to school here 27 years ago they erected this statue.

Of couse I invited them to go on the tram tour up around the school and to the temple or as I sometime call it "The Taj Mahal" of the Pacific. They were excited to go.  Look at this cute family of boys who wanted a picture with me. The oldest one was 5, then twins 4 and a 3 and 2 year old.....wild times. We sang" Row Row Row your Boat" and did a lot of old MacDonalds farm animals with the great...
