The new gang in town...

A week of rain and the guys are heading out to hike in the red dirt.

This is a picture of Adam, Sanoe, Emily and Jenna BEFORE the red dirt

gets ALL over 'em!!!?
PROOF that there is a NIGHT life on Kauai!  BOWLING!
The kids played a Starburst game and then really tried to do a good game,

there are some bowlers among the group!!

After the storm...

Rained ALL night w/ lightening and thunder!  Wet sand, but we found the sun!!

Jesse's seminary was even canceled...  A real storm for the island.
BUT the sand was use-able and the sun was warm so us sun worshipers 

FOUND the sun!
NO, we did not go into the water!  Are you surprised?
Still pretty even in a churned up state...

Kauaian style Christmas weekend

Sat. we performed ukulele at the mall by Santa.
A Hawaiian Christmas village scene, lovin' it!!
Fun bright lights, the violin students are playing here in two Sats.
Hawaiian snowlady.
Tree light festival and parade, some winter clothes on some people...
About a 60 minute parade last night down main-Rice St.  and Kauai Chorale sang for it

before the lights were turned on and the parade started.  It was nice!!

Dad Michael's Surveying COMPLETED!

There is now a use-able road where there was only cane field before.

This all had to be leveled and surveyed many times to get the road and 

guard rail and sidewalk put in.
This was the territory that Dad Michael hiked to measure and hammer in stakes w/ bright pink ribbons on them so the area could be built up.  Like, where would you START??
And a shopping mall is almost completed, with road and sidewalks.  

Even has trees planted!  All on pretty FLAT ground...
More of the MALL, come shop w/ us this next year!!
The new round-about finished and looking really good.  

Dad Michael had to center this area and help measure for water pipes, electric wires 

and all that is in this picture.  Only it was all red dirt back then!! 

FUN to see it become use-able!!  

A little piece of Michael's work left here on the island, good job Michael!!

Can't WAIT to shop THAT new mall!!!

'Tis the season...

My favorite quote is Jesus is the reason for this season...
