We've had an exciting last week on the Big Island - DH's family arrived on Monday and the last of them left today. The movers come tomorrow to pick up our stuff, and we leave bright and early on Thursday morning. Here are a few highlights...
The entire family at the Waipio Valley Overlook
Chad, Ashley, DH and Sean hiking out to the Green Sand Beach

Green Sand Beach - we were there by ourselves and had tons of fun!!
We bodysurfed in the waves - DH and Sean are really good. Chad, DH, and Sean proved their manliness by running down the steep sand hill - Chad is the king of the hill though.
Ashley, Sean, and DH by Onomea Bay (one of the best places to find sea glass)
Sean, Ashley, DH and I drove up to Mauna Kea to watch the sunset. We were also treated to see silversword - even silversword in bloom! It was beautiful :)
I was really excited to finally see it in bloom - I had seen silversword on Haleakala when I visited Maui with my parents, but the flowers are gorgeous!! Now when I wear my
Sig Zane Kupapalani pareu it's extra-special!
Beautiful bloom of the silversword
Bottom of the silversword plant - can you tell why they called it a silversword?

Venus? Some planet glowing while the sun fades into the distance as viewed from Mauna Kea

Poor Jade.
Spike isn't looking well either.
