Kona

We are having a great time getting ready for the race on Saturday. This morning we rented a kayak and enjoyed the beauty of the island. The athletes continue to train and we can't wait for it. There is a tiny spot where 1800 racers will begin the swim at the sound of the cannon. They say it will get brutally physical as they scrap for a space in the water. It will be highly entertaining. There are about a hundred professional racers that will begin 15 minutes ahead of the rest...lucky them. These pics are taken with Marshall's cell phone. The digital camera will have to wait till we get home. My wonderful sister in law and mother in law are taking great care of my kids. I talked to Tyler today and after school he went to his piano lesson then Red Robin for dinner and on to Krispy Kreme to see how the donuts are made. Of course he ate one or two while he was there. After that Alexis (MIL) took Ty and Hannah to the bookstore where one of his favorite authors, Brandon Mull, was doing a book signing. Ty thinks he is in heaven, but misses us.

I got a little hula lesson on the street from this cute Hawaiian lady.

Here we are shopping at some fancy shops by where our friends are staying.
