Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family.
Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one....Jane Howard
"Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters. Help carry their load so you can say, like the lyrics of that song, 'He ain't heavy; he's my brother.' " Ezra Taft Benson

Our Farewell Day!

It was hard to get up on Sunday knowing it was our last day! We decided to go to church for sacrament meeting and so the boys found a meeting address and time and Kevin plugged it into the GPS and we started walking. It was just over a mile away. Wouldn't you know, it was the same chapel we had visited last Sunday..... The chapel was it's own building with so many doors going outside into the atrium.


After church we came back to check out of our rooms.....Just had to take a picture of all of our leis we put on the lampshade!


Sylvia and I are sitting out in the hall with the luggage while the men are getting the boys to hustle up.



For lunch we headed over to Bubba Gumps. What a fun place to eat. There were signs everywhere from the Forest Gump movie.


Just the gang!


Now let me tell you, the food was so good!!!!




After lunch we headed out to do some geo-caching.....
We found one near this beautiful spot!!



Always taking pictures of my feet in or near the water!!!


Jay and Kevin laid down on the bench and took a nap and so Sylvia and I walked the beach......

Once again we found the sand sculpture. This is his finished product of the day!



It was time to go......after a lingering look at the ocean, we left for the airport.

It was going to be a hard flight home.....we left Honolulu at 1 am Utah time and arrived just after 6 am. It is really hard to sleep comfortably, but I am so not complaining!!!


Lights of Honolulu as we were flying out!



Our sweet kids made us this poster that is at our bedroom door, and then when we walked in, this is what we found!!



We loved our vacation!!! We had so much fun with the Newitt's and so many great memories!!!
Our kids survived and they were even excited to have us come home!!!!!
