Snows visit for fun...

Eating lunch at the Marriott in Poipu, Cathy and Brent Snow from Atlanta, Jax's inlaws came for 24 hrs. to visit. Yummy lunch, great ocean views!
Cathy "touching" the So. Pacific ocean... Warm, NOT!?
Had a whirlwind tour of south shore of the island. Including Shipwreck beach, but NO jumpers while we were there.
We got to see Michael out at work by the new round about.
He was in his hard hat and being official.
The Celtic concert we went to that night after dinner at the
Hukilau. Yummy! too! Concert was really good. Celtic harp and fiddler...
About 20 of us went.

Pig on a stick for Sunday dinner

Cindy and Bill Morgan, from Idaho, our friends from the first year we lived here... are visiting! They hooked up with THEIR friend, Tongan Steve WHO invited us all to a family Luau pig feast! in his back yard in Anahola, by Kong Mountain last Sunday afternoon and evening!
Michael observing the pig on a BIG stick cooking over a pit!
One of the rotisss cooks taking his turn to cook the pig, turning it BY hand!
Pig is DONE!
Chopping up pig, ready to eat dinner! White meat means a
domestic pig, red meat means wild pig. This one was white meat.
It was SO good!!! Amazing! We had white rice, octopus with coconut milk and tea leaves, potatoe/mac salad and soda pop.

Spring break

Jesse and Aaron helped the cub scouts go on a hike up Sleeping Giant. Jenna was working at the airport at this time, so she couldn't help. She climbs this mountain for fun to watch the sunrise?
This is the mountain they climbed... I went 1/2 way up, that was a great view and outlook of the ocean I felt and I was done!
Another day we went to watch for whales, and found a monk seal instead. Jake was helping watch the kids while their mom was at girls camp. Can you find the seal? Laying by the water on a rock.
Jesse ready for Aikido... He wears a Gi jacket, but he thought he was funny-er with the bag on his head, yes, the age of weird pictures...
Jesse's LIFE badge AND EAGLE project... He is ALMOST there!!
