Hello from Hawaii

What do you do when you arrive in Hawaii and none of your stuff is here?


We went beach hopping. We explored 6 beaches in 5 days. We had a great time until everyone was sunburned.


So what do you do when all the kids are sunburned and your stuff still isn't here?

Crowd around a tiny dvd player and watch Sleeping Beauty for the billionth time while sitting on loaner wicker furniture.

And when you get tired of sitting in a big empty house but you are still recovering from your sunburn so you can't play outside yet? You go to the movies!




After a week and a half, we were all very excited to see our stuff arrive!


The movers pulled up with Hawaiian Reggae music blaring and were very relaxed about unloading. They took many breaks to sit and visit with us. They were very friendly and wanted to give us a warm Hawaiian welcome. Apparently that means kissing me on the cheek before they left.

So what do you do after all your stuff arrives and the sunburns are healed?





Back to the beach!

We are trying to get everything unpacked. But with the beach and ocean 5 minutes away, we are a little distracted.


We welcome anyone who wants to come for a visit!






And can't wait to show you around this beautiful island!

Idaho

We always have such a great time visiting Idaho. Here are just a few of the highlights.

Meeting baby Savannah



Boot Camp!

Noah learning how to wake board.



Lake day.


Campfire skits were very entertaining!


Watching Jake ride the horses was a definite highlight. He was born to be a cowboy.



Spending time with cousins is always fun!



4-wheeler and horse ride up the mountain. Such a beautiful place!



I am pretty sure the kids were in the pool every day we were there. The girls put on a great synchronized swimming routine!



Winning cookie face race!

Cooking and eating in the outdoor kitchen.




Can't wait to do it all again!
