P-V-P-V-P-V boys in their huddle before their games
The boys have won a few tournament this year. I love this picture at the award ceremony where they revealed their trophy.
Champions- well deserved
Shane has been playing some really good soccer but he still wants to be a NBA player when he grows up.
Girls U8 select team that Jesse and I coached. We won some games so it was a success! Great group of families, it was fun.
F-I-R-E Foxes, Goooooo Firefoxes!
We had a nice visit with the Jennings and Nana and Papa. The kids did some kite flying at the beach. Eli mastered the trick kite which is very difficult and i don’t have a picture of and Shane mastered the art of flying a kite with his drawstring.
Took a little adventure hike
The kids thought that they had discovered something no one knew about!
The girls helping me with invoicing, they were all business
Adam kissing a Giant Bass at the Long Beach Aquarium
It’s funny, the Lorikeets are always the hit at the aquarium, they didn’t want to leave
Katie had a love bird on her
Always a night for s’mores with Papa
Cathy and Duane took Hailey down to San Diego while we were in NYC. They went whale watching with her cousins and Aunt Twylla
They even threw a last minute/surprise birthday celebration with her favorite……….Cheesecake! Very thoughtful of everyone to put that together for her!
Thanks for making Hailey feel special and not miss us too much
The fun run is one of the kids favorite days. Hailey ran the whole 20 minutes. Here she is with some of her classmates, yes her class is 75% boys
Shane was an animal and ended up running close to 4 1/2 miles in 30 minutes. He tied with 2 other boys for the most laps for the entire school
4th and 1st grade Spring shots
We did go to Pearl Harbor, no pictures though.
Last sunset in Hawaii, so sad.
At a deli we ate at, read the napkin dispenser “Yes, You have something on your face” -story of Shane’s life!
Last evening swim at the roof top pool
We show up to the airport to find out they were going to tape a game show called Game Plane on our flight. It’s like the Price is Right but on the plane. Food and drinks at the terminal for everyone to enjoy. The film crew ran down the aisles as we cheered, Jesse got a close up and i may have. Towards the end of the flight Jesse and I were chosen to be the next contestants, but we hit turbulence and then ran out of time. Darn IT! What a neat, yet, odd experience to our trip home. As we got off the plane they handed everyone free stuff. It airs in Sept, should be interesting to watch. Exciting way to end our AWESOME TRIP
The Banyan trees in Waikiki were so huge and cool for the kids to play around
We took a dolphin/snorkeling boat tour where we got to jump into the ocean with the spinner dolphins. As soon as the captain saw a pod we would all jump into the water as they swam around us. Of course we didn’t get any pictures as we were too distracted from being in the moment.
We saw whale after whale breaching out of the water, just an everyday occurrence throughout the island. We saw them while driving, sitting at the beach, at the hotel, going for walks.
Shane out in the deep open sea
My hot hubby
Hailey was fearless, jumping off the boat out in the ocean without hesitation.
The boat took us to a snorkeling spot too
Our guides on the boat were so entertaining. We started off with a Hawaiian prayer and threw flowers into the ocean. We were served hot tea while drying off, applied tattoos to everyone on board and fed us lunch. They performed a traditional Hawaiian dance and then taught everyone on board some hula moves. Shane thought it was such a good deal, we were entertained while going from each snorkeling spot!
Jesse with his freshly applied tattoo. Swimming with the dolphins was one of my favorite things on the trip
We found a hidden little place where the locals go called Spitting Caverns.
Back at the hotel pool
