Fun with Fran, our favorite British Girl!

This week a dear friend of mine from England came to visit and we all loved having her here!  We meet in 2000 at the MTC (missionary training center, where missionaries for the LDS church go to study the scriptures, start learning the language of the place they are going to etc.  We both served missions in Japan and were in the same group there) the We miss you Frannie, come back soon!  The girls will never accept my reading have Harry Potter again after hearing you read with the proper accent!
I guess they don't make burgers that large in England...at Seven Brothers/Kahuku Grill, the best burger place on the island!

Real Hawaiian Shave ice!

You know we had to!


Picnic dinner at sunset at Secret Beach with the missionaries serving in our area here.  We like to feed them as much as we can!



Fran is an excellent golf cart driver and even drives on the right side of the road!


Aya fell asleep on my lap on the back seat of the golf cart-so sweet!

And more golf carting. You can see the hibiscus we were collecting that day on the dash. Love all the colors!

Such amazing birds here on Oahu! These are Brazilian Cardinals. 

On our way to Paradise Cove


You don't see signs like these many places!  Don't ride the sea turtles or bother the monk seals!



Still can't believe we live here!  This is just a few minutes walk from our house!



Frangipanis for Fran!

Enjoying a BBQ at our pool.  Aya swam by herself in the deep end of the pool for the first time that night, thanks to the puddle jumper floaties she has now!  She loves it and was so proud of herself.  Before this she would always cling to mommy or daddy for dear life.  Yay, Aya!
And don't worry Fran didn't just go to the beaches and drive around in golf carts collecting flowers the whole time, we let her do plenty of shopping, tasting of yummy Japanese food and a full day at the PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center).
We'll miss you Fran, come back soon!
Thanks so much for coming!

  1. How fun! I'm so thrilled that people have been taking you up on the offer to visit - And of course, I'm thrilled that you're taking them to Kahuku Grill =).
