Hawaii Family Photo Shoot

Jason arrives at Honolulu airport. He went snowboarding on Wednesday April 10 and separated his shoulder, ouch.

Karyann made me a Hawaiian drink called a blue swimming pool.  It is very fruity and quite sweet.

Karyann, our beautiful daughter-in-law.

Jason and Shannon first time together since Shannon's wedding July 2, 2011.

The VIP in my life.

We are having a blast!  Aloha.

Hawaii fun - early morning walk on the beach

This is what I saw:

This bird hangs out in our yard, but he is very camera shy.

Just before sunrise.

This is the view in front of our beach house.  The property manager tells me the property line is 51 feet in the ocean.  The sandbags remind us of Manitoba flooding, so we are right at home.

 Our beach house, I know tuff life eh?

 Low tide.

 Sand crab hole, reminds me of prairie gophers.

 Sand crab, way too small to eat.

I found him upside down and flipped him over right side up. 

I'm certain it would have righted itself when the tide came in.

 

When the tide comes in the crabs hang on to the rocks.

 Beach walk day two with Shannon & AJ.

Sunrise.

 It was a beautiful morning.

 

Shannon & Me enjoying Hawaii.

Aloha first morning in O'ahu

This is my vacation home for two weeks!  Yippee!! ~dancing around the yard with glee~

The plants are just gorgeous!  Paradise does come to mind strolling around the yard.

 

One of the coconut trees. 

 

  I do not know what these colourful flowers are called.

 

This wooden God lives in our side yard just off the sitting room.  We have a bigger Tiki God in the living room Kaina our property manager brought him here cause he said he wanted to live at the beach.

There are local birds hanging out in the yard that are Brandon birds.  I followed these birds around for a long time and got quite a few bad photos because they kept walking or flying away.

 

Kaina calls this an "emu" an underground oven used for roasting whole pigs all day for laulu.  It is the front corner of the yard, as this service is available for purchase.

 That elusive bird again.
