My parents, Bud and Althea. This was before I arrived.
Here's me with my parents right after I surprised them. I found out where they were having dinner and showed up. They had no idea.
Me and my mom. She's so beautiful.
The whole family at the first night dinner where I surprised them. Besides me and my parents, there are my Uncle Dave, Aunt Joy, My first cousin once removed Donna, and her husband Dick.
These are the decoy flowers I sent. I called my dad to get the address of the rental house so I could send the flowers. This was just an excuse to find out the address so I would have a place to stay.
It was a great topical arrangement of flowers
This is he house we were staying at. It is owned by a friend of my Dad so they got it for a week for free. It has five bedrooms.
The view from the Lanai
My cute rental car. When in Hawaii, one must rent a convertable. I decided not to get the Mustang. That would have been twice as much.
Thursday I went hiking on Haleakala which is the volcano sumit on Maui, elevation 10,000 ft.
Me at one of the craters in the National Park
The sun finally came out on the mountain later in the day.
There is a series of telescopes up there called Science City. They are not open to the public.
Hillside construction has the traffic stopped while the helicopter lifts up something heavy.
I went snokling off Molokini, a tiny island off the coast of Maui
Big Beach on Maui's south coast. I went to Little Beach which is behind me.
Lahina, the cute historic town
Yay for palm trees
This is a really cool tree. I don't remember where I took this
A tiny beach near the house we were staying
Native flower
This is a lush valley in Maui. Even though the rest of the island was dry that day, it was raining in here.
Perfect Palm Trees
The Luau on Friday night.
My parents at the Luau. I had this photo printed out and framed and gave it to them on their anniversary the next day.
The whole family there at the Luau.
This was the anniversary dinner. Notice that we are all sitting in the same seat placements that we had the night before.
