Baseball season was soooo fun!!! The wind made the balls fly farther!! Excited to be into summer with no wind and celebrating with our Little League Team!! My kids do say, “the wind blows in the good and blows out the bad.” …..But we still are grateful for a beautiful calm night with friends and roasting s’mores

We made it through security!! Poor Harrison packed a pocket knife and had to say goodbye and learn a tough little lesson. He was so brave with a bit of a quiver lip. Adventure awaits!!!

A beautiful Sunday walk in this glorious jungle to the waterfall, after attending church on the north shore. (I may or may not have tried to swing on the jungle vines like Tarzan and Jane

Loved celebrating our Sweet Caroline’s 14th birthday today!! Such a sweet, charming, witty, courageous girl!! I just love her with all my heart!! She’s always looking for the good in others and always wanting to serve and see others happy. Such a joy I know we are truly blessed to have her in our lives. #madnesswiththemerrillbudz #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #polynesiancenterluau #everyonehappierandhealthier #sweetcaroline #lostourwheelchairstoday #cerebralpalsyhacked #birthdaygirl #gradgirl #lotstocelebrate #lovelife

…a very sobering experience at Pearl Harbor today. After hours of waiting and well worth the wait, we made it onto the USS Arizona. (My kids took some incredible pictures) it was interesting to learn that the survivors, as they passed away over the years, were able to be buried with their shipmates. Climbing through and on the submarine was a little scary and dangerous (if you’re little and/or off balance) but it put you in the moment to feel and experience and strengthen your gratitude for those who fought for our country. We know we are truly blessed, something words cannot express. #thankyouveterans #pearlharbormemorial #ussarizonamemorial #madnesswiththemerrillbudz #merrillsworktogetherplaytogetherstaytogether #everyonehappierandhealthier #familystrong #grateful #submarine

Imagine living on that submarine with 80 other guys and being out to sea for two months or more.
