On May 16, our big family embarked on a big adventure to the big island. We packed up 24 people (including 5 babies under 2) and enough luggage to fill a small apartment and headed west. We flew from Philly to Salt Lake, where we collected Jolene, Kristi and Rob, and then continued on to LA and finally Kona, Hawaii. The traveling actually wasn't too bad and we all arrived in one piece and with all of our luggage!
We spent the next week doing lots of things that we love to do on the beautiful islands of Hawaii:
Laying or playing on the beach:
Shopping:
Snorkeling:
Jumping off things:
Comparing our tan lines: 
Being together:
Giving Kisses:
Sightseeing:
Going to the temple:
It was an amazing trip and we are so grateful that we were able to take all of our family with us! We sure are blessed.
I know you are well aware of this and you don't need me to point it out, but all of your grandchildren are adorable! Great pictures. Your trip does seem like a great "last hurrah" and I'm glad it was so fun.
ReplyDeleteYou guys have a wonderful family! I'm excited to see you this weekend.
