Scout's Honor.

Right before the big vacation, Henry was in a big cross-over ceremony for Cub Scouts. 

He's now a wolf.

Or a bear.

Or a bobcat.

I just can't keep them straight.

But the fellas did a great job. 

And we're super proud of these little muskrats (what they all are to me).

Aloha.

Well that trip did not stink.

Not even one little bit.

There was fruit-bat crazy vistas, great hiking, turtles, dolphins, volcanoes, swimming, swimming and more swimming. 

We also swam.

My favorite part was hanging with my little family of four.  We were good partners in paradise, all of us. 

And it was one hec of a week.

  The view from our hotel room.

 Sis ready to explore...

 Dave and Henry hookin us up with our morning coffee...

 Henry looks tired.  I think this was day #2.  Still on Seattle time...

 Little path around the hotel.

 On the way up to the Polulu valley.

 In Hawaii, we sleep with our sunglasses in-hand.

 Stella is stoked to hike the valley. 

 There was really just nothing pretty to look at down here.  What?

Sis loved the black sand beach.

 Day 4...on the way to the volcanoes.  We met a very nice turtle and several of his friends on a black sand beach on the other side of the island.

 

 

 

 
 
And the volcanoes...

 

 In the lava tubes.

 

And the best damn sunset I've ever seen.

And this is what the trip looked like from my phone...

 

 Good lawrd do I love this parrot picture.
