On Monday our daughter Maile and her husband and children came to visit us.  It was so exciting, we had two doctor's appointments for Ramon and I was so worried we wouldn't get everything done before they arrived at 2:30.  As it was we had plenty of time and even were waiting outside Costco for them to drive up.  I couldn't believe how big Esme was, I had only last seen her at one week old.  Then Inde had grown too, into a little boy from a baby I used to rock to sleep.

Tuesday and Wednesday we had mostly free.  We did the beach and then walked around the PCC, rode the canoe ride and went to the Tongan Village.  The chief chose Cameron to come up and be one of his special drummers.  Cameron was a good sport and hammed it up really well.

After we went over to the Visitor's Center and walked around there a while. I took a cute picture of them.

On Wednesday we went out to Kaena Point and watched airplanes and the ocean then came back for lunch and shave ice.  The kids do love the shave ice.  We got some when they arrived that afternoon too.

Thursday Elder Sanft and I were back in the saddle so to speak and had a ton of shopping to do for the Zone Conference lunch that was today, Friday.   We then came home and Cameron and Maile were nice enough to chauffeur me around while I handed out 6 lb pork roasts to all the senior couples who were helping me make pulled pork sandwiches.  So today, Friday, we had Zone Conference.  All the crockpots were full of yummy smelling pork and then we had pineapple coleslaw to top off our french bread pulled pork sandwiches.  We had a bunch left over but over all it was a success.  We also had chocolate chip cookies, tangerines, TGIF cheddar chips, water to drink.  Everyone loved this lunch.  One of the other Senior Couples offered to be in charge of the next Zone Conference lunch.  I am gladly letting her do it.  It is a lot of work.
