DJ in a Speedo...

We went to Hawaii last month, it was nice!!

Thanks to wonderful sister's and my neighbor (who is my sister Natalie's clone),

for watching my three stinkers for me! It was nice knowing that my kids were in good hands while we were gone. I was able to not worry about a thing all week... that's

a vacation. This was only the second time in 10 1/2 years, that I was away from my kids overnight.... I'm thinking that we need to do it a lot more often.

Before we left, I promised my sister that I would take a picture of DJ in his speedo for her.

Here you go Laurel... DJ in all of his oily, leathery, hairy glory.

I had a tough time catching this shot. I was trying not to get noticed by the leathery bikini clad wife. Well worth it!!

I tried to get a photo of an Asian man in a speedo, but was unsuccessful.... Booo!

Let's just say that the Asian in the banana hammock was running low on produce. DJ thinks that

I'm sick for noticing, but I'm sorry, there is nothing else to notice when someone is sporting one of those suits. Nasty! Almost all of our pictures look similar to this one. It was weird asking people to take our picture all of the time.

The view from my beach chair. It makes me want to cry looking at it. I miss that chair!

At the temple, which was closed for renovations.... Boooo!

We did get to meet Mark Eubank at the temple visitor's center. He is serving a mission there

with his wife. He was so nice. I thought about asking him if people thought that is was going to snow every time he wore his white coat in the temple. I wonder if he used to use his temple coat for the news? I should have asked him. Maybe I will send him a letter...

Here is DJ with his ukulele coach at the PCC. DJ did alright, considering he doesn't have a musical bone in his body.

At the resort... I miss it!

Another self portrait... so nice!

This was my first trip to Hawaii. I can't wait to go back.... someday.
