Quick Trip to Panaca

 We headed to Panaca for Big B's brothers wedding. It's always so great to be with all the Mathews! 

This is post bachelorette party at the Waffle Love truck.

 Mathews Ladies!

 While eating my waffle one of my young women from long ago happen to pull up with her new husband on their way back to school. Crazy what a small world it is!

 The happy couple!

 The exhausted kids.

 All of the Mathews grandkids that were there.

 The 10 Mathews children with the new bride.

 First dance.

 The best man with my main men.

 The cutest thing of the whole night was watching these two cousins dance the night away.

 They wouldn't stop. I was dying!

D with the bride. She was in heaven!

Dole Plantation

One the way to the airport we stopped off at the Dole Plantation.

 We did the garden maze.

 And of course tried out the yummy pineapple treats.

 Good bye hawaii! Hope to be back somewhat soon!

A sign of a great trip:)

Beach Play

 A little rock jumping done by A,

 B

 Big B

 and me. It took awhile for me to get the courage but I'm so glad I did it. The others did it several times. No fear!

 Playing with the wild life.

 Enjoying the water with cousins.

 E needing his buddy to help him in the water.

As long as he was clinging on to someone he loved being in the water.

 One last stop at the Sharks Cove for a quick snorkel before the sun went down.

 Yet another beautiful sunset.

Sunset over the temple.

Polynesian Cultural Center

 We saw and learned lots of things on our visit to the PCC. Lots of fire!

 Climbing trees.

 Fire making.

 So cute to see all the cousins playing traditional games together.

 A different game.

 Posing with a native. E was just a little hesitant.

 Of course we had to learn to hula!

 A little ride around the lake.

 It may have turned into a race with the other canoe.

The day ended with a delicious luau and show.

More Hawaii Fun

 What's a trip to the beach without getting buried in the sand?! 

 E was happy to sit still for this.

 He could have sat there all day in the sand.

 D was a little mermaid the whole trip.

 Famous Matsumoto shaved ice! So Yummy!!

 A few more family pictures. The siblings and their spouses.

 All the kids running down the beach.

 A little visitor in the house.

 I love to see the temple! Our stake primary was told if they could touch the temple then it would touch them so it was great to take them to the temple while we there.

A, grandma and I went inside to do some work for family names that A found. It was such a great experience!
