We have known the Nortons for a long time. So long they’re like Family now. We were sad to hear that their plans led them away from Hawaii. It has been a quick 6 weeks since we found out to them leaving. I can’t believe they are gone already. We have enjoyed the adventures in Norton Land!
Nat is so fun with the kids. They really love the fun things she does…..swimming at night! 
I’ve learned to see more beauty around, especially when you see the pictures Nat takes. She has a great eye.
She is always up for an adventure…NO matter how many children it may involve! She even convinced me to Jump off the ROCK at Waimea! That was actually LOADS of fun. We went to Turtle Beach and saw a few turtles. We enjoyed Shave Ice from Matsumotos.
And when out adventuring….sometimes you have to take a PIT STOP!
One last adventure we had to go on was KARAOKE! I knew that Richie and Jase would love it. It was buckets of FUN. I must say of ALL the times going Karaoke-ing, this time we had the most ECLETIC selection of songs we sang. We sang a lot of show tunes, to Ska, to romantic duets, to angry girl music. It was a blast. I LOVED being there with Jase, I love doing new things together.
What a BLAST we have had together! Not just these last 6 weeks, but the last 6 1/2 YEARS. I know their adventure in AZ will be fun…I hope after a few years they will RETURN to Laie. 
I've been wondering how you are doing now that such a dear friend has left because it is always sad, but looks like you guys lived it up to the very last moment! Excellent!
fun pictures, fun post! i'm sad they are gone but i do hope they will come back. you all have such fun together. hope shae is feeling better. xo
We miss you guys. This post made me all misty.
ps. the karaoke picture of you and jase convinces me that Jase must be an umpa loompa (sp?) for Halloween. Purple is the new black.
