HAWAII 2010

Our family vacation took us to Maui, Hawaii this year. As we headed across the Pacific with 12 friends and their kids, we started our vacation on the airplane and didn't stop...We spent 12 wonderful days soaking up as much Vitamin D as we could handle.... Mornings running w/ the ocean at our side, days at the pool or ocean, evenings out at dinner or making dinner, and our nightly walk down to the gelato shop. And don't forget the shopping!!! Hannah couldn't wait to wake up in the morning to walk down to her friend's doors, knock and play for the day!

As this was Hannah's third trip to the Islands, she was well prepared and very excited for the pools, ocean, and gelato. We had a great time (except for when we left to go home. On car ride to the Airport - Hannah got car sick, REALLY car sick. My hands make a pretty good 'bucket'.) Good Times... Aloha!

Hannah had to pick out what swimsuit she was going to wear everyday...

Night out at the Luau

Easter 2010

The good ol' Easter Bunny made it to our house this year. He left fifty eggs hidden around the house and baskets full of toys, movies, and treats. Hannah has been asking for Barbie in a Mermaid Tale for the last couple of months - she was so excited that the Easter Bunny would know to leave that for her. She really enjoyed searching around for M&M filled eggs and wanted us to "be very quiet" so she could sneak up on them. She was so much fun this year!

We also got all dressed up and met up with a group of twenty friends for Easter Brunch at Anthony's. We had lots of kids running around (all girls) and it was fun to see how much different life is today in comparison to 5 years ago. WOW! Although like I would have five years ago, I did sip on a Mimosa and eat a yummy seafood omelet. A good time was had by all.

Next, we went home and tried to take a nice nap. Nap for Jinoo, check! Nap for Brandi, kinda... Nap for Hannah, ha ha funny! Hannah kept tapping me on the shoulder every two minutes asking if my nap was over. After a 1/2 hour of me saying just a few more minutes, we were up and playing and eating Easter goodies. Mmmmm! Peanut Butter M&M's!

Bunny Bounce

We visited the Woodland Park Zoo for their yearly Bunny Bounce/Egg Hunt. The kids got to run into a field and scoop as many eggs as would fit into their baskets. Now here's the kicker... ALL the eggs were empty! And if you were one of the lucky ones that picked an egg w/ a special sticker on it, you could turn it in for a treat. Hannah picked up about 30 eggs - none w/ a sticker. She was so confused that after all that work, she didn't even get a treat! LAME!
