Aloha From Hawai!

I don't have anything stamping related to show you but I will share a few photos from Hawaii. The boys are having a ball, in fact today they went with dad to the Zip Line. Can't wait to see those pictures. Hopefully I will get some pictures if George isn't hanging on for dear life!!

This very brave dude climbing a palm tree to get a coconut.

Nichols standing amongst one of the beautiful and interesting trees here!


Outside the Hard Rock Cafe in Maui right on the ocean. Nicholas loved watching these little crabs and asked me to show you even tho I told him you probably didn't want to see them. :)

We're traveling with my mother in law, Maria. The boys are having so much fun with Yaya!!

Becky - love watching your blog, seeing your creations and following your family. I so wish I lived near the Boise area - we'd be great friends, I just know it! You are so creative and being as adorable as you are doesn't hurt either. So much fun to learn from you and share. Thank you!

I love the banyan trees, too! I lived on Guam for three years. Here's the legend of the banyan trees and the taotaomonas (spirits):
The taotaomonas of Guahan are said to roam the jungles and are present around the ancient latte ruins, large basalt and coral boulders and caves, as well as amongst the thick dense hanging roots of the Banyan Trees. If you enter the jungles and disturb the taotaomonas, they may pinch you, leaving red marks or swellings on your body, or they may cause illnesses which are difficult to diagnose by conventional doctors.. The only treatment for this sickness is to visit a suruhana (Chamorro female traditional healer) or a suruhano (Chamorro male traditional healer). You may be given herbs or a massage as treatment but almost always you will be instructed to revisit the site where the illness began and ask forgiveness from the "guelotas and guelatas" or ancient grandparents for disturbing a burial site. The mindset of the Chamoru Culture is rooted on respect which is extended to those who have passed on beyond the world of the living. Those who enter the jungle, cave or an unexpected clearing under a large rooted tree without exhibiting proper respect will fall ill.

Check Nicholas for any bruises of red spots!

The crab seemed to be looking right at you for his camera moment, very cute!

Cheryl said...

Have a great trip, Becky! We were on Maui the end of June - I LOVE it there! Looks like everyone's having a great time.

TraceyJean said...

The crab looks pretty cool, like he was posing for the camera...
Seems like this was a fun trip for the family.

hEY THERE,

My name is Silvia and I regularly read your blog...anywho, I was just catching up, was away for a while, and while reading some of your posts I realized that some things are Greek...like your e-mail and your word for grandma, are you greek? I'm currently living on the Island of Crete right now and absolutely LOVE it...Anywho, just thought I would say Yassis!
