Day #3 - Sunday - Laughter and Tears

Today began with laughter and tears and it ended the same way. This has been such a wonderful experience that I will be unable to put it all into words. First off, we got up and enjoyed a beautiful stroll around the resort for our first time and it was absolutely amazing! Words and pictures are not going to do it justice. I was really missing family today and wishing so much that I could bring you all here. There are many pools where you would all have a blast! They meander over lots of ground. There are tunnels and waterfalls, hot tubs and basketball hoops (all in the pools, of course). The ocean lagoons come right up to the pools and are just beautiful. We only had a short time to explore before leaving to see Adam and Jenni. What a wonderful reunion! Adam and Jenni haven't changed a bit. They are wonderful and cute as ever. Notice the beautiful lei around my neck. Adam and Jenni hand made one for each of us to wear today and they were absolutely beautiful. The aroma was something special. Every room I entered smelled wonderful because of my lei. Jenni made us a delicious lunch and we enjoyed visiting with them. Then at 2:00 we attended their ward. The talks and lessons were great. Then we returned to their apartment and had a delicious dinner cooked by Jenni. After dinner and dishes, we drove back the hour and 15 minutes to our condo. Adam and Jenni came with us to spend the night. They have to go back early tomorrow morning, but it was fun to show them Ko Olina. As we were arriving in Hawaii, every time we told someone where we were staying their eyes would get big and they would say something like "oh! That's a nice place!" Well, after our little stroll around the place today, we know why! I have never seen anything like it - and I've seen lots of condo places! Here are just a few photos of our day.

How Fun! Adam and Jenni look so tan! You and Dad are catching up!

That is so cool that you have a such a nice place! Eric and I will have to keep that in mind for our future visit one day:)

We are having so much fun with Nathan! He is so helpful and brings a lot of love and laughs to our home. We had a good dinner tonight and then went on a walk and then came back and built a tent out of sheets and turned on the fan to fill it with air. Then we played games and laughed inside while we kept cool. It was way fun!

We found out we are moving next Thursday and sold our contract today! We are way excited!

Love you! Keep having fun!

Love Heidi, Eric, Nat, and Aden
