We had so much fun in Hawaii. It was Amazing! We went Kayaking, splunking in lava tubes, watched the hot lava spew out into the ocean, boogie boarding, snorkling,and of course layed out and enjoyed the sunshine. I was nervous about leaving the kids, but Avery hardly noticed that we were gone and Andrew still loved me when we got back :) Thanks for watching the kids Cindi!!
*not the best picture but it is pretty much the only one we took

After we got back from Hawaii we stayed in Utah for a week. We took the kids to the Thanksgiving Point Petting Zoo. Andrew was deathly afraid of the goats but LOVED the pony rides.




We also headed to the mountains with Andy's fam and had a bonfire and roasted marshmallows. The kids had a blast!


Andy's sweet Grandma had a big BBQ on Saturday so that we could see everyone before we left. Avery loves to play with her cousins!

It looks sounds like you guys had so much fun! I get so excited when you put new pictures on. You are awesome!!! I'm obsessed with taking pictures too but I don't really know what I'm doing. You really do know what you are doing!That's funny about Andrew not liking the goats but not being afraid of horses

Lauren said...

HaHa! Thanks Staci. I wish I knew what I was doing, but I'm glad I can at least kind of fake it!

I am SOOOOOO jealous of your trip! It was fun to go on a girls' weekend but I need a hubby weekend (or week!). And you are getting SO good at taking pics! When are you coming to Cali to take some pics of MY baby!? Seriously call me THIS week! NO excuses. My excuse is that I can never find your "current" number. I promise I still have verizon!

I'm Super JEALOUS...Hawaii was a blast I'm sure. I'm glad your kids still liked you when you got back and it looks like Utah week was fun too. I am sad we couldn't get up there to see you, but it looks like you had plenty of people to visit with.
