Haleakala

I flew to Maui a couple of weeks ago on business. On the return flight, the pilot gave us a special tour of Haleakala.  First, the ridge above Ulupalakua Ranch as we circled around the back side gaining altitude.

The summit from the back side of the mountain.

A better view from above.

The back side of the mountain looking toward Hana.

It was a nice treat on the way home!

Betsy's Blessing

We spent the weekend of July 4 on Oahu with Christian and Shandra and the Clawsons.  Saturday we had a lovely day at Waimanalo Beach.

Here's 'lil Bessie.

Christian gave Betsy a lovely blessing after Sacrament meeting Sunday.  Then we took a few pictures.

It was so nice to spend time with the Clawsons again.

Monday morning we took four-wheelers on an excursion from Kualoa Ranch up Kaaawa Valley.  It was a beautiful morning.  "Lost," "Jurassic Park," and a number of other shows have shot at this location.

J. Lynn claimed to be scared, but she actually had a great time riding her machine.
