God has been gracious to us and has been with us through our journey of love and life. He has carried us through some of the most difficult times and has given us joy in the midst of sorrow. He has also been loving and given us abundant blessings. Most importantly, He has provided us with faith. May we share that faith with others.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
"God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame".

Hawaii Vacation Day #5

April 24th, 2014
After a morning at the beach, we ate lunch in Honolulu and visited the famous Hilo Hattie's store.  We let Lilly open an oyster for a pearl.  She got a pink pearl.  I opened one also and got twin white pearls (just like I did on our honeymoon).  They gave us a third for free and we got twin black pearls.  Liam got to make a craft.  We returned to Aulani in time to get cleaned up and have our family pictures taken on the beach.  Then, we enjoyed yet another marvelous sunset.  We finished the night with a show.  Aulani puts on a show, similar to a luau, and Mickey and the gang show up at the end.







It took some time, but Lilly finally played in the sand.

















Lilly and I had coordinating suits.
