Maui

-

We felt super lucky that the State of Hawaii re-opened on Oct. 15, after being shut for 7 months due to Covid!  We never had to re-arrange this trip once, plus we got the bonus that our first week there corresponded with one of Rob's weeks off.

Above is a beautiful rainbow, which we saw every day for 2 weeks due to greater moisture than we see typically in the summer season.

Next, Rob really wanted to snorkel and see some pretty colored fish & sea turtles:



Then we decided to hike to a waterfall:



We decided to reward ourselves with the best ice cream possible (Island Cream Co):

Every morning we would exercise by walking/running.  Here are some of the items we saw:




The next week, we moved to the other side of our 2 bedroom villa and we drove up to a 10,000 foot mountain (Haleakala Natl park) that looks like you're on the moon:



Every day we swam in our lovely pools and in the gorgeous ocean:





We also ate at some amazing restaurants and a shave ice place near our hotel:




All in all, it was a relaxing time in paradise!  We hope you all will come with us at some point in the future.

What a wonderful and relaxing trip! I love all these pictures so much, and they brought back such sweet memories of our time there. We had the best time! I agree that Island Cream Co. is the best ice cream ever, and Fleetwood's and Leilani's are amazing!! I'm glad you could share it with Rob and have such fun adventures. I love you so much!

Amy's braces

-

On January 6th, I got braces from my orthodontist, Dr. Edwards. He said I will be wearing them for about 3 years. My teeth were very sore for the first few days, and all I could eat was stuff like yogurt, soup and other soft food. He tightens the wire on my braces every month, so I will expect to be sore for a couple days each month. This is a picture of me before I got my braces: And this is a picture of me with my braces:

 Mom and I went up to the northwest corner of our beautiful state of Wyoming.  First, we stopped overnight in Grand Teton Natl Park .   it was a very short cabin (and an original settler's one) it was a little smoky. Next we drove to Mammoth Hot Springs in the NW corner of Yellowstone NP. we had a ton of elk right in front of our cabin! Buffalo everywhere in Lamar Valley, where a few of you went as 4th graders. The bull elk comes into town....ready to fight for his mating ritual Next we went on the BearTooth Highway, which reaches nearly 11, 000 feet and usually has mountain goats. Next we headed down to Old Faithful and the Geyser basin.  it was truly amazing! one of our favorites--Sapphire pool! Some of you may remember Riverside Geyser Good Old Faithful....erupts every 90 minutes, but only lasts about 3-5 minutes a new find--Castle Geyser--it went off for 20-25 minutes! our cabin at Old Faithful Lodge Our last stop was in the Canyon and Falls area .... Overal...
