Super Hero Friday!

 Love my sweet students! 

 Harrison played hooky Friday and got to enjoy the hike and the fun in the sun with the girls and Matt

 Running into our friend, the surf pro, was pretty special!

 Jut fixing Matt's guitar

 Thankful that our friends so kindly shared their North Shore home with us during the weekend. The sunsets. The proximity to the beach. The fellowship. So good. On so many levels.

 Go Big H!

 He's like Harrison, I love you, but really? This is how I have to spend my Saturday morning? ;)

 Saturday lunch! Get down with yo bad self, Jenny's Shrimp! The best shrimp yet! Spicy and oh so many!

 In our drive around, we saw a cupcake truck. All by itself. So of course, my cupcake heart kicked in, and we needed to stop. Forget the cupcakes, the lady in front of us got the Unicorn Shake, which had us oohing and ahhing... and worth every single buck ( it was $18) and worth every single calorie. Although it was hammered by 4 of us, no doubt it exceeded every sugar limit everywhere for the year.

All sugared up and oh so happy that our friends were getting surf lessons!!

 Auntie Jack, the sea glass palm tree is for you :)

 Goofing around at a new to us shaved ice place!

Happy Mothers Day ! Pizza date 

 

 The Hales had a hotel for the night, so we booked an adjoining room and partied there too! Such fun to be married to a spontaneous social butterfly! Our life is always spiced up & always blessed by other's fellowship! Such a great Mother's Day!

 Tons of wind. Tons of sun. Empty pool. Best day ever.

 Playin' hooky! And we were beyond impressed by their crazy amazing breakfast buffet! Embassy Suites you are our new fave. So good.

 After we checked out, and sent Kathy and Tessa back home to WA ( insert all the tears, they are so fun!!), the big kids and the girls and I got to fry beach side. Oh so good. We also said farewell to Mr Swan. We left him at KoOlina for some other cute kid to enjoy.... the bittersweetness of leaving... all the stuff gets left too... and although I love to purge, declutter and move on... it's a little harder leaving the island ways.... trying to brace myself for having to actually have our kids dressed in the summer... sigh... beach bum life is fo realz amazing....
