Hilo, Kona, Thompson visit, Happy B'day Summer!

ok...so I'm a little slow on updating....been busy!
Bob and I spent Christmas in Hilo on the big island of Hawaii. We were only there 3 or 4 days, so we maxed activities. Before sunrise boat ride to see the lava pouring into the ocean....then a helicopter ride later that day to see volcano action from the air...what a great Christmas present to each other. For our "official" (1/1/10) tenth wedding anniversary celebration, we went to the Polynesian cultural center for new year's eve, lots of fireworks and next day a fancy lunch at The Willows, then the movie Avatar, plus a romantic sunset at the beach. See?....busy!
In Feb, Tony and Connie came to visit from AZ and we toured the Mighty Missouri battleship...then, Valentine's weekend, we went to a world class wedding celebration (cute couple, Jim and Stephanie) at the Prince Hotel, Kona and hung out with awesome friends, CA Jim, Betsy, MA Ron and his lovely wife, Ann, sister to the groom.
We had an AZ Thompson visit the end of Feb and Michelle and I were determined to get a tan, even with all the wind left over from tsunami action. It was truly a sweet reunion visit, Bob took the week off, and we did something fun every day and hugged / talked a lot. Oh yea, and ate!
March 6th, beautiful Summer's birthday. When we called, she was flying a kite with Hanna (age 3) and had ladybug cupcakes to celebrate after Sean and Jessica take her to dinner.....uh, there was some jewelry involved too! Life is good and Miss Summer looks 28 at the most!
