Hello 2015!

We're having a nice start to 2015.  Knowing that we are about 80 degrees warmer than Minnesota right now helps!  If you're not up to speed, Kate, Maya, my mom and I are in Hawai'i to visit family and tour the island.  I took a bit longer than I expected to upload pictures, so this will be light on words and heavy on pictures.

Maya caught red-handed on the red road to the black sand beach.

That's it for now, we're headed to Grandma Judy's soon.  More to come as time allows.  Aloha!
