Hawaii

At the Hard Rock

We arrived in Honolulu at 11:30 Hawaii time.  It was an early, long morning but we managed to get to our Hotel and finally something to eat later that afternoon.  Tuesday, we did a tour...Stars and Stripes; which covered the Arizona, Oklahoma and Missouri.  Also included downtown Waikiki.  It was a very good tour and good thing we did it that way; otherwise, we would have been lost all over the place.  Tomorrow, we have an early morning again and are leaving for Maui.  Aloha....

Waikiki Beach; we look a little drenched since it broke out raining for nearly an hour

Outside our Hotel

At the Arizona; the ship leaks about a quart of oil per day.  They say it is the tears of the the lost souls below.

Polar Bear Plunge 2014

Devin and her co-workers; or otherwise known as the "Squatchsicles from Big Foot Beverages" all took the plunge this morning.  The annual plunge goes toward Special Olympics and they all made it!

Getting ready to start.....

First plungers 

The Squatchsicles going in....

And coming out....

Sunshine, blue sky and snow.................

Today, it was clear, blue sky and no snow coming out of the sky.  It gave everyone a chance to dig out; which is what we did.  The quad came in very handy and Dennis was able to clear the driveway and front of the garage so we could at least get out if we had to.  We may get some snow this eve but I think for right now, it's going to subside and warm up a little.  Might see some rain later this week; which will be a mess.

Dennis is temporarily stuck here

Moving again....

Nice to see pavement

Gnarly icicles

February snow..........

We have been getting lots of snow our way; finally!  It has been snowing constantly since this last week and has not stopped.  I believe we have reached the two foot mark by the looks of our roof.  It is really beautiful but has been challenging to keep the side walk and driveway clear for a trail .  Bachelor and the Cascades are getting really pummeled.  WE NEED THIS!!!

Our New Approach..........

Our apron is complete!  See pictures.....................
