Kauai

Brad and I had the privilege of flying to Kauai for a trip with just the two of us. It was kind of a 20th year anniversary celebration....just a few months late. 

 

Papa Bob & Grandma Shari helped out with the kids back home and we also had arranged for some friends to help with some of the driving and activities.  I had a lot of stress and anxiety before we left about all the logistics but as soon as we landed it all went away. 

 

 It's funny how Hawaii does that to you.   

Our only hiccup was the extremely long wait at the Rental car place.   They really do mean it when they say you are on "Hawaii time". 

Enjoying our first beverage with little umbrellas.

We had fun driving around in a convertible. 

 

Bull's Eye

Darby was begging me to take her to Target so she could buy some things for her Boo basket. I was too tired and told her I could maybe take her another time. She did the next best thing and convinced her dad to take her. Bo also decided to go. 

 

This was much better than going with me.  

 

Witch's Paddle

My friend sent out another invitation for a witch's paddle. She had two dates with the 2nd date being the backup if we had bad weather. Thank goodness we picked the first date because it was absolutely gorgeous, almost 70 degrees. We had a lot of witches paddling and it was such a fun sight to see.

 

Ace!

It has been fun watching Darby played volleyball for her middle school.  

She has a great serve and is still working on her consistency.  

 

Bo's Soccer Fans

It was a beautiful saturday afternoon and Bo had a soccer game. So, I made the 3 other boys cheer him on. Ollie actually found some friends to play with so he didn't do much cheering. But Brody & Colt were super fans. We even got to watch Bo score a goal!

 

My Happy Place

I was able to be in my happy place again. This time I held my cousin's 3rd baby, a boy named Emerson. I also had fun hanging out with Eva.  

Baby snuggles are the best but playing with a 3 year old is non stop entertainment. 

 

Michigan vs. UW

In a crazy turn of events, almost all of us went to the Michigan vs. UW football game. At first it was only going to be Brad & Colt.  Darby had a softball event and at the last minute Bo & I were able to join too. 

Colt & Bo were able to ride on the boat with some of our friends.  Brad, Brody, Ollie and I took the bus to the game.  There were definitely a lot of UW fans but we also saw lots of Michigan fans. 

UW ended up with the victory this time, but we still had a fun time. 

All of us were able to ride the boat back and it was such a pleasant evening for a boat ride.
