Memories!

I have been meaning to post these short clips for some time.

They are from a hike up the Pipiwai trail in Kipahulu, which is past Hana.

We miss you, Thomas and Rose!

The mist descends upon us at mile 5...6 miles to go!

Cold and weatherworn, seeking shelter in an outhouse, what!

Can you See the sky? Thomas agrees, Best sunset ever!

Thanksgiving!

There were an infinite number of things to be thankful for on Thanksgiving, for example:

1) Sunny, bright blue 80 degree skies

2) Topless sunbathing poolside

3) Swimming!

4) Making a delicious turkey (with a lil help from my friends, thanks kelsey!) 

5) Eating so much incredible food!

6) Hale Akua friends and fam!

and so much more!!!

Here is Ian carving the turkey, with Thomas leering in the background 

(note the rays of sun hitting the turkey, like a gift from the Gods):

The Feast!

Chef gets dibs on a Leg!
