This was from our last week in Alaska~. Just the four singers hangin' out!

This youtube link will take you to the performance that we did of America the Beautiful during the farewell show on September 11th. I love that you can hear the audience singing along with us. It was very moving at the time. This was the performance where that guy made the comment that I was painful to hear! I guess I can let you guys be the judge! hahaha :)
(But if you agree you're not allowed to comment!!!! hahaha)

When John and I were in Astoria, OR we saw TONS of sea lions just hangin' out on the docks~.
This was the last night that John had any type of facial hair! He shaved it like this for 70's night!
Now we are officially in Hawaii and loving every second of it!!!

All I can say is: beautiful places, too much to do and not enough time, and I don't ever wanna leave! FINALLY - sunshine, beaches, lush vegetation - it's amazing!! SERIOUSLY! That black stuff is LAVA! ( I mean, it's dried up and rocky now, but still...)

The singers decided to go snorkeling at turtle beach! We saw turtles and a million gorgeous fish!!
Then we rode scooters and saw scenery like this!!!


We overnighted in Laheina (Maui) and decided to do a bike tour that started at 3 am. So, we had to be on the dock at 2:30 which meant we just didn't go to sleep that night. We went 10,000 ft. up this mountain where it was around 30 degrees (compared to the 90 degree whether we'd been experiencing at sea level) outside. Our group stayed up there just long enough to see the sun rise (GORGEOUS - of course) and then we rode bikes back to town - which was around 25 miles down hill. :) IT WAS AWESOME!!!!

The video link above is of an active volcano that we passed at midnight tonight! It was unreal to watch it smoking and sparking like crazy! (If you can't just click on the link, then copy it and paste it into your browser and then go from there. )
Well, I just wanted to try to update you guys with a few pictures and things! Hopefully more to come!!
BLESSINGS~*

Oh, I know you love Hawaii--I would love to go back there. I hope all continues to go well on the ship and in the performances. We look forward to seeing you in Nov. Thanks for sharing the "America the Beautiful" performance. Not painful, but "awesome" is the word I'd use to describe it! You look great--we will continue to pray for you.
