This is a photo of my mom demonstrating how to do the hula at about age 6, the year, 1951. My Grandma Bailey was always making fun costumes for my mom whither it be for the numerous 24th of July parades or just to play dress up. From this photo it was evident that she was destined to spend her retiring years in Hawaii.
this is now, almost 57 years later.
Yesterday was my mom's 63rd birthday. Happy Birthday Mom! She is celebrating her day by visiting the cites around the Island. My parents are currently vacationing, i mean, serving a mission in Hawaii. They are "playing" um, serving for 1 1/2 years at the Polynesian Cultural Center. They love everything about their mission; meeting people from all over the world, wearing the Hawaiian outfits, the beautiful warm temperatures year round, and playing on the beach. They are having the time of their life...I'm not sure if we will ever get them back.
That was then...

I just had a mini vacation in my mind. I want to go to Hawaii!!! To play... I mean serve.
I could totally go on a mission like that. I'd have to send a list of places to the Prophet informing him of the places I WOULD go. Hawaii would be right up there. Are you planning to visit them soon? Do you need a babysitter to go along with you? I'm willing. Crap. You're kids are too old now. Ten years too late.
Hawaii - what a great place - I love it there.
By the way... the new pictures of your family are DARLING!!!
You have such a beautiful family. I love your blog thanks for commenting on mine. What a fun way to stay in contact! Say hi to my big cousin, Bruce!!!
Dear Natalie, Thanks so much for the great comments about us. We are having a great time here and loving serving at the PCC. We are soooo looking forward to being with you all next Christmas. Love You.
