For Christmas in 2005, my parents gave us all a trip to Hawaii, but because of Billy being in the fire academy during the summer of 2006, it was postponed until this July. It was SO FANTASTIC! I will remember forever how much fun it was to be with everyone in Paradise! Papa rented a big house where we all stayed together- each having our own "apartment" inside complete with 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, kitchen, family room, & deck. The main floor was bigger were we all hung out together- AWSOME! The best investment I could have made was a waterproof housing for my camera! TOTALLY worth it!! We snorkled, awsome scuba diving, deep sea fishing, surfing, boogie boarding, cliff jumping, etc. Oh yeah, we also went to Japan...hee hee :) The scenery was gorgeous! Saw some really cool wild life-up close to huge sea turtles! The kids practically cried when it was time to leave. The only rotten thing was ...you guessed it...sunburn. We were fine until about 3 days before we were to come home. At the beach all day, the sun out in full force (we did reapply!!) When we left the beach Billy was a a bit pink, but the rest of us not at all. About 3 hrs later we were FRIED to a CRISP. I mean 2nd degree burns-BLISTERED! None of us could move, sleep, wear clothing...you could have swarn we just painted our bodies red....BAD. Also horrible...my poor mom fell down the slippery oustide stairs and BROKE HER FOOT!!! We all felt sooo bad!! She was in a lot of pain, but hung in there and did as much as she could for the rest of the trip. Now she is in a "boot" for at least 8 weeks? :(
