CAMPING WITH DADA!!Brandon took brody camping with his friend Justin and his three girls. They went up country to uncle Pats ranch called "Lava Java". So neat, they made fire, hiked, slept in tents ate hot dogs and got to be it the beautiful maui outdoors! No mom on duty so brody told me he have hot dogs for breakfast with donuts. "so cool mama. Don't worry mama, i'll take you up sometime." Then he went on and on telling sissy about all the animal he saw up there..... When i asked Brody was his favorite part about camping was, he told me "being with daddy, he is my best friend."
They have had a hard year. Right about the time i left nana health was not so great, but getting much better. Few months later Pap's health went down. To be blunt-his kidneys are done and he has been diagnosis with leukemia. He is a good man-always a hard worker & handy is a understatement. Something he ingrained & pasted down into my dad. They are Yoak men who work with their hands and have built so much and work so hard. When i was there we sat for a bit...but then he was up fixin' his little pond and hosing off his patio. I laughed inside..."that's were my dad gets that, they can sit still for too long." Nana and pap just moved in to a new place that they remodeled (with help) and are so proud. They were so excited to show us everything. It looks great. It was so good to see them. (Oh i miss them)
