Joey's Having Fun in Hawaii

Now that we are a little more settled, we are really starting to love our new home. Right down the road from our house is this view:

The beach is down below.



If you're wondering what Joey's been doing, this is pretty much it:




Joey had to have a TB test and then wait for the results before they would let him attend school here, so here's a typical day for Joey and Mike, just killing time:




Coming out our front door:



This is again at the end of our road:




Looking down over the Wailua River:

Joey looking at Opaekaa Falls (the same Falls as in the title picture on my blog):



I accidently put this picture in twice and now I can't figure out how to take it out, so don't look at this one (hee hee).


This is Joey's school. The mountains behind the school are sooo beautiful. Today, because it has been raining a lot the last few days, we counted ten waterfalls coming down the mountains behind the school. If you look closely, you might be able to see a couple of them.

The first time Joey saw his new school and saw how beautiful it is, he said, "Wow! I feel like a snob now, going to such a pretty school!"


Joey misses his dog Hershey, but he does have new pets. Yesterday, he found a tiny frog in the swimming pool and caught it in a bucket.


It was a cute little thing, but it did not stay in the bucket and we can't find it now.


Tonight we ate guacamole made from avocados that we picked in our yard. Hawaiian avocados are much bigger than the kind we're used to, but they taste the same: YUMMY! We also have oranges and bananas growing in our yard, and lychees and some other as yet unidentified fruit.

So pretty! I'm glad you aren't all alone up there anymore but it's really weird that you guys are gone. How is Joey liking school?

Wow it just looks so amazing! I'm glad you guys are having fun but it's weird to think about how far away you are. The other day Megan was mad because she said she wanted to live by the beach like granny. lol Miss you guys!
