A little island time with my person

Well, Angee no more than flew out and Maren and family flew in. Actually, I made sure Angee caught her plane and boarded before shutting off my phone but little did we know she sat on the tarmac forever before they had the entire plane de-board and apparently Kona Airport closes at night. Since the entire plane was looking for a ride after about two hours Angee made her way back to the house. I heard a slight knock at the door and I thought it was the kids maybe feeling out of place but when Maren came down and said "there is someone at the door" at 4 am I had quick flashbacks of a childhood memory. Then, all of the sudden there was a body climbing over the exterior wall. My cop voice quickly said... "what in the hell are you doing?" It was then we quickly saw a figure that resembled Angee's. Holy crap! What a night!

We were all early to rise the next morning, Angee was off and we headed to Wiakaloa for Harper's adventure with the dolphins. It has been years since Maren and I were here together and this was the first time with the family. I know how special this is for her and I am honored that we got a few days of overlapping fun together!

Sunday we headed to Living Stones for church and spent some time down at the village shopping. Of course we had to have a shave ice! We paid a visit to Dad on Palm Sunday.

Monday we were off to 2 Step, no dolphins today but Harper nailed snorkeling 101.

I loved seeing Shane and Maren relaxing, this was their first family vacation and the family is enjoying every minute!

We enjoyed one last sunset together! I am headed home after a long time away and the Hermies will finish an amazing family vacation! 

Enjoy friends! Love you!

 

Alika Place Makeover

This girl right here would walk to the end of the earth for me and this week she did just that. Angee hopped on a plane just to spend some time on the island with me knowing that I had an imminence amount of work to do. It may look like we played a lot but the actual amount of work that we did was incredible and I could not have ever done it without her.

From refinishing furniture, to cleaning mango's off the roof, to painting the deck, to packing thousands of pounds of rock up a light of stair to remodel the patio, we went shopping for flowers (on Mom's birthday none the less).

Some how we fit in Old A, Kua Bay, Shave Ice, Lava Java, and even Volcano, and even a few rounds of Rummi cube! We got a lunch with Grammy and we paid a visit to Dad both very special visits.

Thank you Angee for always standing in the gap, "I will follow you anywhere my friend.

There are some great before and afters that Angee put together and the new listing on Evolve is incredible.

Needless to say the photo shoot was a success!
