Wednesday 8th (van pickup and packing the van) and Thursday 9th (lazy day)

The best day of the trip so far!!  I woke up early and arranged a ride to pick up the van from Matson.  The entire process was so smooth, it was a gift from God!!  The Town car driver even waited for me so that I follow him out of the harbor without getting lost.  Thanks Juan!!  After getting back to the hotel we had to get 24 bags and 6 people into the vehicle!!  Guess what after a little teamwork, and a few things thrown out we got everything and everyone loaded up and rolled out.  We had to make a stop at McDonald's, because you know the kids have never ate there!!  Of course the McDonald's did have a play set!!  Then we headed out to the Lowey's house.  It was nice to see them after 7 years.  We will be here for a week, I'm praying that they are half as patient with us as the Pries Family were!!  Thanks Ryan and Heather we love you and miss you already.  I feel bad saying we miss a specific Friend because everyone of our Friends will be missed but these guys had to deal me Daily!!  Anyhow So this part of our blog was supposed to be yesterday but I was ready for bed!!  Priorities!!!  So this section will be a little longer.  Today, Thursday, we all slept in and had a great leisurely morning.  For lunch we tried this new place called "Burger King" (Which just happens to also have a play set!!) .  We Met Mike, Mel, and Dale (Mel's Dad) at "Burger King"  Had a few laughs and hung out.  Sarah made Spaghetti for dinner and now the kids are outside playing and Sarah and I are sitting here relaxing before we play a family game.  Sorry for no pictures today or yesterday but we are finally catching up from our trip and time change.  We just were hanging out and being lazy today.  Aloha to everyone and tomorrow I will make sure I post on time and hopefully have some pictures.  God Bless
