Aloha From Hawai!

I don't have anything stamping related to show you but I will share a few photos from Hawaii. The boys are having a ball, in fact today they went with dad to the Zip Line. Can't wait to see those pictures. Hopefully I will get some pictures if George isn't hanging on for dear life!!

This very brave dude climbing a palm tree to get a coconut.

Outside the Hard Rock Cafe in Maui right on the ocean. Nicholas loved watching these little crabs and asked me to show you even tho I told him you probably didn't want to see them. :)

We're traveling with my mother in law, Maria. The boys are having so much fun with Yaya!!

  14. I love the banyan trees, too! I lived on Guam for three years. Here's the legend of the banyan trees and the taotaomonas (spirits):
    The taotaomonas of Guahan are said to roam the jungles and are present around the ancient latte ruins, large basalt and coral boulders and caves, as well as amongst the thick dense hanging roots of the Banyan Trees. If you enter the jungles and disturb the taotaomonas, they may pinch you, leaving red marks or swellings on your body, or they may cause illnesses which are difficult to diagnose by conventional doctors.. The only treatment for this sickness is to visit a suruhana (Chamorro female traditional healer) or a suruhano (Chamorro male traditional healer). You may be given herbs or a massage as treatment but almost always you will be instructed to revisit the site where the illness began and ask forgiveness from the "guelotas and guelatas" or ancient grandparents for disturbing a burial site. The mindset of the Chamoru Culture is rooted on respect which is extended to those who have passed on beyond the world of the living. Those who enter the jungle, cave or an unexpected clearing under a large rooted tree without exhibiting proper respect will fall ill.

    Check Nicholas for any bruises of red spots!
