2010 Off to a GREAT start

This is the view from our room (to the left)

view from our room (straight out)
enjoying dinner and friends
Me and my partners in crime, Colleen and Michelle
Off to the ball with my prince again
Jason's paddling out to catch a wave!
Hunter's coming in from surfing...he's getting the hang of it
Our crew getting ready to paddle out to Chinaman's Hat (in the background)
Hunter climbed every rock out there until he heard me screaming his name from below...hmmm, we're on the middle of a little island nowhere near medical treatment and he's not using safety equipment. I know why God gave little boys a mom now :-)
Ashley had to get in on the climbing action too!
our view of Oahu from Chinaman's Hat
too much action for Ashley, time for a nap another slippery rock to climb was calling Hunter's name
Most of the Tutens made it all the way to the top of the "Hat", the view was amazing!
