Hawaii - Day 2 & 3

Saturday May 8th 2010

old condo

We survived our first night in Paradise, even though our condo was so far from paradise. We did get switched to a more adequate condo and it turned out to be very nice and pleasant. We loved it and loved waking up to this every morning!

Sunday May 9th 2010 - Mother's Day. We had a fabulous Mother's Day! I felt bad that I wasn't with my kids, but I got over that real quick :) We started out the day waking up to a beautiful sunrise, as we did every morning. We sat outside and read and talked (as we did every morning - nobody slept in) until it was time to go to church.

At church we had a lovely sacrament meeting that included a very mournful woman who confessed that she hadn't sung the song she was about to sing to us since her mother had passed away several years ago. I think it was entitled, "Ma ma ma Mother, I Love You." It was a little awkward, but she got through it and now we have nice song to sing every Mother's Day or any day for that matter. As we left we were handed long stem roses. I was hoping for some yummy chocolate or macadamia nuts, but roses are great too!

After sacrament meeting we headed to brunch. I cannot remember the name of this little bakery and restaurant, but it is soooo good! Just the regular pancakes are to die for!!

It was a gorgeous day and we couldn't wait to get out to the beach for some sun. This picture is of Benn throwing the football with Cory or Ben. We were waiting for the others to come over to our sweet condo so we could walk to Shipwreck Beach. And there was also a pool right outside our "lanai" that we took advantage of as well. Ahhh, such a relaxing day!!
