As I look out my window at the pouring rain for the millioneth day in a row- I can't help but dream of being back in Hawaii again. One year ago I was sitting on the beach drinking a pineapple lava drink in Hawaii with my family- Dad, Mom, Heather, Heidi, Holly, Maureen, Mike, Megan, Marcie their wonderful families & of course Brian, Aundrea, Gabe, Elena & Zander! What an amazing experience to be with the greatest family, in paradise! Dad & mom treated us all to a vacation that we will never forget. It gave us an eternal perspective of what it can be like in the eternities! Last year I didn't really get to post our pics from Hawaii so I thought I'd reminicse...
What a legacy!
8 Children->35 Grandchildren (one more has been added since)
2 grandson-in-laws
What fun & crazy family! I love my brother & sisters! They're my best friends!
We spent the majority of our time on the beach of course- The kids loved being buried in the sand! You had to watch out for the waves though- Gabe just got a mouthful of salt water!
Maui Ocean Center- touching the starfish
Heather & I went parasailing over the beautiful island! A little scary but very fun!!
Aundrea lived in the ocean!
We loved the snorkeling, the cool fish, & the big waves!
Aundrea, Gabe, Zander, & Elena with cousin Brad who is now on his mission in Tijuana Mexico
Z was only 10 weeks old & did alot of sleeping- which was nice!
On the road to Haleakala with Megan & Harold's family! The view was amazing & we were only halfway there!
Our family on the top of Haleakala- big volcano in Maui!
Geckos were everywhere- the kids loved them, some more than others!
We went to a big Luau with all you can eat food & drink! The entertainment was incredible!
Aah! I want to go back! I love this post! Cute pics! Especially like Elena and the gecko! Also, very taken with the one with Brad and your children! What an amazing trip it was! Gotta love Hawaii and so grateful to have been there with all the family!
