The Johnson Family Reunion

The Johnson family reunion was held June 18, 2011. We met at Bonneville park. Most of our local family was in attendance. Ed and Donna and some of their children came, Richard and Kathy and some of their family came, Valerie and Colleen represented Fran and Pauline. David and Julie were there from Priscilla's family. None of Pauline's family could come. We had sloppy joes and a fabulous amount of dessert, including fudge. I did a family history quiz and James and Richard got most of the answers correct. The weather was perfect and we were glad to be together.

My Last Day in Hawaii

Zariah and I spent my last day in Hawaii having fun. We went to the beach and loved the sand and the water. Zariah got a suntan. We met Loni and Leila at the Dole Pineapple plantation for lunch. I had the Kalua pulled pork and rice, a salad and a slice of fresh pineapple, garnished with a fresh orchid. It was delicious. We also sampled some cheesecake and pineapple upside down cake. Loni and Leila returned home for a nap and Zariah and I stayed to ride the pineapple express. We learned about Wawhiawa. It means place of rumbling. Wawhiawa has been the birthplace of Hawiian royalty in past years. The rumbling was believed to be thunder, indicating the pleasure of the Gods at the birth of a royal child.
