Mom, Dad, Christy, Jeff, Jace, Clayton, and Lauren decided to go to Hawaii.  We went with friends to the Big Island first.  On July 9th, Mom and Dad left for Oahu until the 13th.  Then they met us on Maui.  We had a great time.  The only thing missing was Jennie and Craig and the kids.  We left an open seat at each meal for them, just in case they decided to surprise us.
