Home Safe

We're back from Hawaii with mixed emotions. We had a blast while we were there. It was so much fun to spend 1:1 time together and with BL. But it was also good to get home to the other three.

Unfortunately, we were unable to post anything after Saturday because my computer stopped working and Brett accidently dropped his "new" cell phone in the ocean. Oh well, we did get some pretty coral :)

The team lost both Friday and Saturday, but made a comeback on Sunday and looked like the old Aggies. They have at least 8 players out injured right now so it's been a tough road. Hopefully Luke, their All-American,will be back this coming weekend. Brandon had a great series behind the plate, and hit the ball hard, just to someone most of the time. The fans at UH were anything but nice. They not only got on our players, they got on our fans as well. And there were only a handful other than us, but we took it well. They sold beer at their stadium (which is unusual) so most of the harsh comments came from fans who had a little too much to drink. But as Brett said, that's baseball. And winning that last game, made it all worth it.

We got up early Saturday morning and went to Pearl Harbor with the team. That was a very touching experience. After Pearl Harbor, we took Brandon and one of his teammates to the North Shore area of Oahu. We walked along the shore and saw huge turtles. We had a great time. The boys left Sunday evening after they played. We stayed one more evening and left Monday at 6:30pm, Hawaii time. Not being the two sharpest tools in the shed, we decided to lay on the beach as much as possible our last day. We couldn't have asked for a nicer day. But, as you probably guessed, by the time we boarded our plane, we were already turning red. We both look like lobsters! Oh well, can't go to Hawaii and not lay on the beach.

Our trip home was pretty uneventful, other than the delay in Honolulu made us miss our flight in Dallas. We took the next flight out and arrived home around 11am today. We got off the plane in OKC, beet red, short sleeves and shorts in 40+ degree weather. Wasn't hard to tell where we had been.

Another great trip, and another reason to be thankful. We'll post some photo's of our trip and of the baseball games. Hope you enjoy!
