Fun for all in March

Life was a little treacherous for mom and dad in February.  Dad was in the hospital with intestinal bleeding (from low blood pressure that he caused by taking an extra pill) and it took them a bit to figure out what was going on.  Thankfully, that doesn't usually happen to people a 2nd time, but it was a bit scary for all.  Then a couple weeks later, mom was tracking a deer in the snow and slipped on a tarp and broke her rib.  I was a little concerned that they weren't going to make it to our house yet again, but they rallied (I sent my mom the Great Mender chinese supplement and she was better in less than 2 weeks!).  They had lots of plans here while Ryan and I went to Maui, so it is a good thing it all worked out.  Aunt Sue and Uncle Rich flew down to stay with them for a week and they had a lot of fun and found a new hobby!  Unfortunately, they weren't playing by the rules, but got a little lesson when we got back from Maui.  Then Patricia and John stayed for a couple of nights on their way to Arizona and it sounded like they all had a wonderful time.  I'm glad the kids are older and can take care of themselves!!!  I'm not so sure about these crazy cats!

We enjoyed Maui as usual.  The weather was perfect and there were lots of whales and turtles and for the first time I saw a dolphin!!!  We relaxed and rested and read on the beach.  We were spoiled to have gone twice in one year (although it was a little different with the kiddos).

Mom and dad came a few days before we left for Maui to go to a women's church event.  It was really great, although I can't remember much about it now!  Anyway, we didn't have a whole lot of time to do much, but we did volunteer at our church packing bags for the homeless.
