Colin's Hawaii trip

Colin went on a doTERRA business trip to HI.  He visited where we used to live last summer, and skyped with us so we could see our old stomping grounds.  
Update on the "legal" graffiti call Devon had painted on.



Colin's rental car (it was the cheapest one! Pretty snazzy looking though).

Mystical with the kids

We had a fun day taking a tour of Mystical Yoga with the kids, and visiting our great friends Gabriella and Vedantin.  This is an adobe house constructed at Mystical.  Very cool in both ways!

Sand bag house- how creative! 
We had a fun afternoon sitting on Gabriella and Vendantin's tree-house deck of their home.  She taught Em and I how to make jewelry (shown are some of her beautiful creations), and Vedantin taught Calvin and Devon how to play Native American flutes.  





Fishermen on Lake Atitlan
Afterwards we went to visit a friend Gabriella and Vedantin had met, and bought a sailboat from.  We brought her some doTERRA oils as she was having some health challenges.  This is her beautiful home!


Farewell until April!  We'll miss you guys! Gab and Vedantin headed back to S.F. where they live.

Xela Temple, Shocomil, and border

We love our temple trips to Xela followed by a BLAST at Shocomil water park!






The Lazy River

















Devon and Josh, deep in thought as they walk along the Lazy River.
Hmmmm, anything in here?

We camped out at a hotel for the night.  This is the Denning-mobile which they slept in.  Check out the cool tent on the top!
The next morning the guys got up early and left for the border which was only about an hour drive.  Jensen had left his passport at home on accident, so he hired a guy to drive through the night to get it to him on time! The Gregs needed to renew their visas (this happens every 3 months), and Lyn and Colin went along for the ride.  Us women and children stayed at the hotel and the kids played in the pool all morning until the guys returned that afternoon.  They brought a bunch of pizza back to us, and  everyone pigged out, then we set off back for Pana. 


They did a little tool shopping at the border.
We bought some snacks to eat on the way back to Pana.  I love these beautiful outside fruit stands! 




Cora and Emily were rocking out in the car on the way home!
