Back to Winter...

We are back! We had a nice, long and relaxing vacation to Hawaii. Parker was in heaven being with both her parents daily, seeing her grandparents and playing ALL DAY LONG. She now says “ocean” and loved digging in the sand with her bucket. She can hold her breathe under water when Garett dunks her and had her first drippy messy ice cream cone. Why don’t we live there? Anyway, it is nice to be home. There really is no place like it.
The key to vacationing with kids: Bring grandparents. Garett and I actually got to go out on a boat and go snorkeling and go out to dinner a few times (thanks D, I & L). The whales. We saw SO many whales while in Maui and on the boat. It was amazing...
Sooooo, back to winter. Things to look forward to: I am taking a photography class on line, downtime, re-connecting with friends and start training for a half marathon (gulp).
Here are a few of my favorite pictures from Hawaii....My mom and her pal on Lani Kai Beach (AMAZING beach on Oahu), Parker watching the sun set, Parker & Dylan playing at Baby Beach on Maui, My step dad Don and P, Dapper Dylan, Amazing view from my mom & don's place, Parker laughing with dad.
