Hawaii is very special to Colby and I, as most of you know. We spent this first few years of our marriage there, and it really did become our home. While I don't miss living there, I do miss it. It had been almost 6 years since we had been there, as I was 5 months pregnant with Bailey when we moved back to California. When my mom and dad asked us where we wanted to go on a family vacation, I immediately said Hawaii!! So, 10 of us planned this trip almost a year ago, and decided to return to our Hawaii home at Turtle Bay, and try a new island for all of us, Molokai. The trip was so special. A rare treat for all of us to spend 8 days together. Here is just a
snippet of our trip. I couldn't post all of the pictures, but did manage to create a good snap shot of our trip. I was not ready to come home, and I can tell you it will not be another 6 years until I go again.
The amount of luggage it takes 10 people to travel with
Cocktail hour started on the plane
I don't know how she managed to sleep on the plane
Arrival in Honolulu
Cocktails at the pool bar
Mom and dad
It was so nice to be back at our old spot
More cocktails on the lanai
Hanging out
Cocktail hour turned into a game of "penny can," but since we were in Hawaii it was "Coco-Nut"
A view from the lanai
The condo pool
Bailey in her cool shades
Me and my girl
A dip in the pool
A trip to
Waimea Falls
60 % of the crew
Eli and Jaymee
Kelly and Lexy, they were recreating pictures from years ago
The kids
More of the kids
We made it to the falls
Jaymee and
Raif in the waterfall pool
Bailey wasn't so sure about being so close to the fall
Yes, everyone, she is in the water
Our family
All 10 0f us at the falls
Feeding the peacocks
Dinner at Lei Lei's
Bailey and Aunt Jennifer
Jaymee, Dad and Eli
Mom, Kelly and
Raif

Happy boy
Raif was running around the putting green pretending the balls were his chicken eggs
Shave ice, a must!
Eli and his girls
Mmmmm!
We stopped by the turtle feeding area
Raif loves sea turtles
Play time at the pool
Bailey and grandma
On the slide Colby helped build
So fun!
For everyone.
Lexy's turn
Go Jaymee!
Raif managed to turn around and go head first!
Another family photo opp
The kiddos, again
We made it to Molokai, a view from our house
Lunch on the beach at Halawa
The beach here was beautiful
Jumping off the pool back at the house
Eli chillin'
It was aloha Friday, which only meant we had cocktails earlier, than later
That is a serious spider, right next to our pool
Retired and relaxed, ahhhh!
1, 2, 3, Jump!
Aloha Friday or Saturday, I can't remember
Spectacular sunsets
A view of our Molokai house
View from the rooms
The living room area
Front of the house

Morning happy face, who wouldn't be happy drinking delicious Kona coffee!
More views of the house
Race time
Dinner at Molokai Hotel
Grandma and Grandpa with their grandkids
Kelly and her girls
Molokai hot bread, oh my!
In front of the Molokai hot bread place
You have to go down a shadey alley to get the hot bread, SO worth it
Colby and I took an early morning walk down one of the most beautiful beaches
We saw tide pools, rocks, and growing Hawaiian sea salt
Another beautiful Molokai beach
How often do you get to make some of the only footprints in the sand?
One of my favorite pictures
Gorgeous sunsets
It was our last night there, what a way to end a magnificent trip
