Keith and Debbie Pike returned home recently from three weeks spent in Hawaii. They were accompanied by Debbie and Kirk Munro of Lloydminster. Much of their time was spent on the big island of Hawaii. Their activities there included a bus trip around the island, a visit to renowned Parker Ranch and water activities, particularly snorkling. The trip around the island included a visit to the inactive volcanoes.
Two weeks were spent on Oahu Island, a very interesting place to walk, swim and tour and where whales and dolphins and other aquatic animals are easy to view. People are encouraged to swim with the dolphins.
Hockey fans, Randy Pike, Keith and Debbie Pike and their daughter Tara and grandson Xander, travelled to Edmonton Feb. 15 to attend a game between Toronto and Edmonton.
