Hawaii Part I...

(September 2018)

True story: Romney was gone for 11 days in Hawaii helping with Hurricanes.
We talked everyday and wondered if he would make it home in time for our family vacation that we had already planned.
After lots of coordinating with his team, he was able to come home, but just barely! 
He was able to fly back home from Hawaii late afternoon the day before!!!
Rather than come home for the night, we decided to just meet at the hotel in LA and catch our morning flight the next day.
So he made a list for me and told me what to pack for him.
I loaded up the kids, and all the luggage in the car and headed to L.A.
We met up with Romney, slept a few hours and over slept.
We drove super fast to the airport, hurried through security, and rushed to our gate!
But, we made it!

SO here is the funny part.... our family Vacation is: HAWAII.
Poor Romney just flew this flight less than 10 hours prior....but peacefully without 3 kids.
It didn't matter, what mattered was we were all together ready for a super fun week as a family and with our friends who were on another flight.

aLoHa!!!



 A couple of weeks before we left we bought Miles snorkel gear so he could practice in our pool.
He was so excited to get in the water with his daddy to show him what he had been working on while he was gone.
We also bought a cheap pool noodle for him to use in the ocean
(That way he didn't have to focus on swimming, adjusting his mask, and a snorkel all at the same time in open water.)


Snorkel faces never.get.old
(Miles and Tyson)


Andie loved swimming with Ashlyn who she calls "Ashwin"


Heather and I left the cove to find more fish, but we ended up discovering a sand bar, which was fun.


The Boys boogie boarded constantly.


We tried Puka Dogs for dinner.


and tried different desserts!



We were off to a great start in a great place with great people.
