hey annie j: JOLI!

Joli, my cousin who is so great came to visit me in February! We had a BLAST, adventuring around the island in our hot red convertable like tourists do, laughing loudly like we both do, and of course talking talking talking. Her stay was short I was so sad to have her go, but so glad she came. We packed every minute with fun and memories. I hope it was good break for her, she is an amazing school teacher. I have always looked up to Jo and her mom a bunch. Both Jo's have always been so good to me. So lucky to have such a fantastic family. I love you Jo!

Who can resist a picture with this thing? Really.

Just making some fire at the Samoan village at PCC

I don't know if I have mentioned on here how much I LOVE mochi ice cream. But I really love it.

We visited Pearl Harbor on Sunday, after hearing my friends Josh and Kaz speak in church.

Spicy edeme! Entirely new to me, Jo loves it but had never had the spice! It was good!

I love this picture of Joli. Haliewa Eats! Yum. Right on the beach, cute place.

Strolling the temple grounds

Convertable!!

AWESOME WHALES at Waimea! there were at least 2, jumping all over the place!

I don't even know what time we got to Waimea but we stayed there forever! We didn't plan to but just kept talking and talking way past the sunset. It was soooo relaxing and soo comforting to have family on my island.

Okay also at Waimea this day, both of us got wiped out at least once, maybe even two times each, we could NOT stop laughing!!!! It was so hilarious I was bawling. I can still picture Joli as her legs were completely taken out from under her and the ocean pulled her back in. I think I was laughing so hard I couldn't even control myself and next thing I knew I was dragged in too. Wish I had it all on video.
