Pu'uhonua O Honaunau

The first day back on the island we drove to this park on our way to the East side of the island.  Anika became a Jr. Ranger and Lance and Racheal mastered the game of Konane.  We recreated some pictures as well.  Enjoy.

Here we go again!

As we prepare to embark on our visit back to the Big Island we are thankful that Nana was able to take half our clan and give us a chance to finish packing in relative peace - reminiscent of when we left five years ago.  We are all excited to see how the island has and hasn't changed since we took our leap back then.  Aloha to all - then, now, and always.

Guess Who's Back!

When we left the Big Island in 2012, Racheal made a pact with Lance that in 5 years we should all go back and see what we remembered from our time there.  Racheal has been doing a count down every year to make sure it would happen.  Now it's been 5 years and we leave in less than a week!
We reviewed the blog with the kids and have a feeling that they remember not much.  We have made a list of things we want to do/see.  We are hoping to meet up with some acquaintances that we met while there.  We even have the luxury of staying with our friends the Jensen family.

Here is a picture of us from this last April 2017 at Kinnickinnic State Park near our home in WI.
