Hawaii Christmas 2008

We went to Hawaii for Christmas this year. We were celebrating Cannon's graduation! He finished his MBA program with UC Berkeley/Columbia University! The Holbrook side of the family came with us - Cannon's parents, Joe and Eldene, Cannon's sister and her husband and kids, Holli, Mike, Makayla and Jaycey - were all there. Sadly, Cannon's brother Brandon and his wife Natalie were snowed in in Portland, and couldn't catch a flight. We really missed them! We stayed in a beautiful house on the beach on the North Shore, near Haleiwa. It was wonderful!

We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center, Waikiki Beach, the International Market Place, Sunset Beach, Kailua Beach, Diamond Head, and of course Matsumoto's Shaved Ice (several times...the house was 5 minutes away!)



















The kids loved the beach...boogie boarding, body surfing, and building sand castles were their favorites!

Cannon, Morgan, and Mike took an official surf lesson! Morgan beat both of the boys...she is a natural! Surfer girl!!

There were a few good storms, and an island wide blackout, but we had the best time ever!
