We spent our first morning trying to sleep in. Dodger woke up at 5am (HI time) but we were able to talk him into sleeping in until about 7. Dodger and I then walked Robin and Steve's youngest, Grace, to school while Amy started re-packing all of our luggage (for the 4th time). We then went to the beach to let Dodger get wet....Robin took us to the famous North Shore so that we could experience the sea turtles coming in to sun. We then stopped by Dole's tourist trap to eat some pineapple ice cream and apple bananas.
BTW, Hickam AFB is a really nice base and we can see Pearl Harbor from the home we are staying at. Last night we drove around the harbor and one of the big ships...and I mean BIG...was a Japanese destroyer. Facinating and surreal to see it in the Harbor...can you imagine what those sailors were thinking this first time they pulled in?One more day until we leave for China to pick up our little one!!!

Hi Dodger! Emma and I are having so much fun reading your blog updates. Love the videos! We will continue to pray and check for updates.
oooh, you are making me so jealous right now...Hawaii!! It's December and this Kiwi girl should be cracking out the suntan lotion and hitting the beach...but wait...I live in Minnesota where it is -3F and frigid.
Nice to have a break in the Islands before you get to China though!
Good luck with the flight and the 300lbs of luggage!
Say hi to Lu Zi 1 & Lu Zi 2 for me!

I think by..."Our good friend Derek picked us up at the house," Troy meant "my best friend Derek..." Just kidding. I'd run through a brick wall for the Vest family. Ya'll are on the journey of a lifetime! Soak it up. In a couple months from now you will miss those first special moments with Li Li--no matter how tired you are. Jury duty pals! Love you guys. Be safe. dbell
Dear Vest Fammily,
Love and prayers for you all! So wonderful to see Robin:) Brings back such wonderful memories of the dearest of friends and sweet times, God is sooo good. How great to be able to go along with you. I pray Jesus prepare you and LuZi's hearts for the coming days.
Love,
Linda S.
