First Time to Hawaii

Joan and I, after all these years, we finally made it to Hawaii.
It was Joan's cousin from Denmark that decided on a sunset beach wedding on Maui, So Joan and I decided to join them for their big event as no other family were going.


We first spent 2 days on Waikiki Beach. How beautiful was that.





A picture of Joan and I on our first night on the beach at Waikiki.





Every night there were free shows in the plazas and beach parks with Hawaiian music and hula dancing.

We were amazed at all the flowering plants. All the trees had flowers, too. We visited the Dole pineapple plantation and saw all the amazing plant life on the islands.

We then traveled to Maui for three days and the wedding. We stayed at an older more traditional island resort right on the beach with palm trees everywhere.

The sunset wedding was so beautiful. That is Helle, Nik and Matilda, Helle's daughter.





Back at Waikiki, we drove up the east coast for Island views that were breath taking.

And of course what would a tropical vacation be without the umbrella drinks along the beach. We found a favorite place to visit on our final days there.


Our final night in paradise.
Aloha to all.

We will return.

Winter came and now its Spring

Joan traveled back to Denmark again this Winter to visit Family and Friends. The snow was thick and cold, too.

Only got one picture of Joan together with BedsteMor and BedsteFar.

She is in the middle with a big smile and a broom.

Oooops. Sorry that's a snowman.

Back in California Spring came one day in March at the beach, and Joan loves to take pictures of Collin playing. He is so big now and he knows when MorMor has her camera out.













The big event this Spring was the birth of our newest family member. Our new Grandson Evan David Barker, Born on March 26, 2010. Got to love that middle name. We have lots of March birthdays now.
The Proud parents Brian and Elisa.
MorMor is happy holding her new grandson on the day he was born.







Collin meets his baby brother for the first time. I think he was prepared for the new baby and now he is big brother in many ways.

Nearly the whole family got together at Brian and Elisa's right after baby Evan came home from the hospital.



Grandpa and Mormor sit together with our two grandsons. It is fun being Grandpa now.


Melanie and Will and the rest of us stand in front of Melanie and Will's new home.

It is not easy to buy a home these days, but they found their perfect home in Anaheim.
