New Years Eve

On December 31st we went to Hilo to get a few things at the farmers market and to just hang out.  It was a really beautiful day in Hilo and we enjoyed a rare complete visit to the city without rain.  We had lunch right next to the market where we found a guy cooking barbeque.  Craig, Ally and I had some awesome kabobs while Jenna and Ann tried some Thai food from a one women kiosk which looked like they had some good food.  Throughout our lunch, we were entertained by an awesome country band.  Good times!

New Years Eve Supper

We had a very relaxing New Years Eve evening.  Craig went to bed around 9:30 and I hit the sack around 11:00.  The girls managed to stay up until midnight and witnessed how every neighborhood and street in town was blasting off fireworks and fire crackers.  I woke up and watched some of it.  They really like their fireworks here.
