Break Part 3 -Ta Tonga

Dave had the opportunity to go to Tonga with some friends to do dental work over the summer break. I am so proud of them and all they were able to accomplish. They were gone for 11 days and when people asked Audrey where her Daddy was, she would say, "Ta Tonga."

Dave working on some of the Tongans. Some people waited for five hours in line in order to been seen.




A kindergarten classs came into the clinic and sang songs for the group. Some of these cute kids were also patients.



The dentist, and dentists-to-be in front of the clinic.


Work hard, play hard. The boys were taken out by a noble family on a boat to this private island and snorkle around the entire island (the one on the left).





They went to this beach that had blow holes off the shore. It was Tonga's version of the Belligio show in Vegas!




This pillar was made in 1200 AD and the king used to stand on top of it to watch and talk to the people.


I can't wait until it is my turn to go along! Until then, we will continue to make a big scene at the airport when Dave and the other dads comes home:











I asked Audrey what she wanted our welcome home sign to say, and she said, "Ummmm, welcome home Prince Charming!" And so it did.

Welcome home Daddies. We missed you.

What an exciting life you have. You are always going on such fun vacations. The trip to Mexico, the beach house, and Dave's trip to Tonga. You guys should stay in school, it looks like you're having a blast. You and your family are so beautiful. I do love reading about what you're up to.
