Aloha

Poor us, we had to go to Maui earlier this month so Anna could go to a medical conference. Grandma and Grandpa Maki joined us there for the week but arrived a day late due to snow. While waiting for the grandparents to arrive, we had breakfast at our favorite spot overlooking the ocean.



Zach is a big fan of the pineapple/banana/macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup just like his mom. Yum!



Post pancake smile.



18 months ago Zach and Mom had their picture taken at this very spot. Only Zach was a little squirmy baby inside is Mom's belly. How time flies!



We then took the long way to the airport. Half way through the drive we realized it might be the wrong way to the airport.



The sign does not exaggerate.

Eventually we made it to the airport and Zach greeted Grandma and Grandpa with a true Hawaiian aloha.



The Grandparents arrived just in time for Grandpa to enjoy his 70th birthday in style. No, that's not Zach in the picture. It's Flat Stanley. Apparently they are everywhere. This one belongs to our niece Alexis and he is currently enjoying the Australian country side.
