Family Vacation

Reno Hot Air Balloon Race

We kicked off vacation with an early morning to the Balloon races before heading to the Bay Area. Are we crazy?! Yes! Trying to fit in all the fun activities before Daddy leaves.

Mommy and Daddy had their first date since Annabel ...to the Giants game.
Too bad the Giants lost. But we had a fun night out!
Grammy and Pappa watched the kids so we could enjoy the game.


ALOHA!
All summer Ryan talked about all the wanted to do was go to Hawaii. He wanted to sit on the beach and drink Lava Flows and do nothing. We finally got schedules all lined up and went for it. We went to Oahu for 10 days and had the best time! We stayed at a Marriott time share in Ko Olina. We had a fabulous 2 bed room condo. The property had 3 pools and 5 lagoons. We really did not have to leave. We did relax but it is a different type with 2 young children. Instead of sitting on the beach napping or reading we: built sand castles, swam, built castles, swam, swam and swam more. William was happy where ever the water was and Annabel was just happy to be. Both kids did awesome on the flights. William had a backpack filled with goodies to entertain him and keep him well fed. Annabel was happy checking out her surroundings and catching a few zzz's here and there.



William's favorite Hawaii activities:
