The Grandkids Are Here !!

Okay.  We're ready for those grandkids!  Each has their own snorkel, mask, swim bag, beach towel and bamboo mat.  Their beds are made and ready for them to arrive at 9 o'clock Friday night after almost 12 hours at airports.  I still don't believe it's really happening!

We begin sight-seeing the very next morning, the two oldest boys in the Honda with Granpa and the two youngest kids with me.  

We go from the ocean to the mountain top.
We went to the caves and waterfalls and beaches, swimming and boogie boarding, snorkeling, to the fireworks show at the Pacific Missile Range on the 4th of July, friends from church took them spear fishing and hiking  and surfing...We did it all - and then some.  They helped out for two weeks at Lihue Baptist Vacation Bible School.  Our oldest grandson was baptized with the small children that accepted Christ during VBS.  It was undoubtedly the most amazing, most marvelous time of their (and our) lives.

Thank you, Lord, for the blessings you have given us.  When we were forced into this traveler's lifestyle we didn't quite understand.  As always, Your plan is perfect and Your timing is perfect.  We see Your hand at work, and that these blessings come from You.  Thank you, also, for giving us such wonderful companies to work for.
