Marla and I just returned from a trip to Hawaii to visit with some high school friends and my brother. It brought back memories of past trips.

Lauren & Kate are getting ready to ride the waves on the Big Island (2013).

Hiking at Akaka Falls State Park.

The Girls aren’t so sure about this!

Our beautiful family. Logan on the left is now almost 6’2″!

And another beautiful family! Vaughan on the right is now taller than me!

Special moment with Moms!

Our wonderful girls!

The fellas surprised everyone with a singing presentation.

This is a treasured image of the most important ladies in my life (2016)!

Lauren said something funny!

Our big adventure!

We love our sunsets!

Special moment!

Mom was her happiest when the whole family was together.

Love this memory of the Girls! My niece, Marlena, joined us from New York City.

My favorite crew!

Breakfast at my brother’s house with our family and our nephew, Kekoa.

The “adventurers.”

Last year hiking on Maui.

Happy hour before a Hawaiian slack key guitar concert at Napili Kai.

New memories to come! Aloha!
