pop pop & gami

we had a wonderful visit with gami and pop pop last week. they were our first guests and we were eager to show them around. it's fun to have a reason to go out and do the tourist type stuff, but also feel totally content just chilling out at home. my camera has not been found, but pop pop shared a few of his pictures with me so i could update the blog community on their fabulous visit.

we took every chance we had at beaching. why not? coen is so happy and content on the beach. we have a couple favorite places and we set up camp and soaked in some sunshine. i would like to note: i am so obsessed with not frying my fair skinned boy that he is always in full sun protection gear...when we visit this summer, i bet YOU have a better tan than him!





mid-week gami and pop pop hopped over to oahu to visit with some of their dear friends. coen was very sad to wake up and have them gone, but sure excited that they came right back! this picture is of gami paddling in the pacific during their visit to oahu.

punalu'u is our favorite beach! it is the same beach we had our family pictures taken at when we first moved to the island. it has a little bit of everything... palm trees, sand, lava, surf, annnnnnd sea turtles. we have never been there and not seen a turtle. it is so wonderful!

of course we spent a day up touring wes' office and hiking around the volcano. coen is plotting how he can take over as the head siesmic network manager. he might be small, but he has big ideas.

of course the highlight of gami and pop pop's visit was that they deliverd our sweet lily dog. she has totally adjusted and is settling in just fine. it is great to have her home with us.

our schedule of visitors has quickly filled up and we are so excited for a season of showing off the island. it may get old eventually, but for now...the more the merrier! aloha :)
