Camping @ Home

This weekend we decided to camp out in the backyard as a trial run. We love camping and want to start camping around the island(s) this fall/winter. It went pretty well. Baby Bella slept in her pack and play. Both the kids slept till 7am. We roasted marshmallows and had s'mores. Stargazing was amazing! We have a nice view of the Milky Way up here in the forest. 

  

Here are a few pics. 

 

Setting up camp! 

Baby Bella liked the cozy corner.

Happy camper.

Williams Summer

William spent a good while in Chicago with his Pamma and Grandpa this summer. We missed him horribly and don't think next time will be as long as this summer was. He got to do so many fun things with all of his Chicago family.

William and Pamma at ORD. He really loves and misses Pamma. 

As soon as he got on the airplane it was time to write his thank you cards! 

Over the summer William became a little golfer and was so happy to spend some time on the golf course with Grandpa and Pamma. Cousin Kayla took him miniature golfing a few times too.

4th of July at Sea

This 4th of July we watched the fireworks at sea. It was beautiful as expected. We missed William!

Hiking

Here we are hiking on Maui. We love this beautiful costal hike! It's a little too long for William, so while he was at camp Pammas this summer we got to do all of it. On a clear day you are greeted by Molokai and Oahu at the top. 

Summer Beach Fun!

Here are some pictures taken over the summer of us at the beach. We go to the beach every weekend sometimes we just take a morning or sunset walk and sometimes we go snorkeling. 

Bella loves splashing in the sea like the little mermaid that she is.

Bella's Birthday Dinner

On Saturday, August 9th we got to celebrate Bella's birthday with a dinner celebration in Kauai. Here are some family pictures from the evening.   

  

We had very nice dinner thanks to Sally, who works with Chris. She always takes the best care of us. Arrabella was a celebrity that night and got lots of compliments. She gets lots of compliments all the time, people love her.  

Singing happy birthday to our 1 year old.
