When we got back to Oahu we took a week to spend with all of Jake's siblings and their families, except Josh who had a baby around the same time and was also busy joining the Army.  We loved having the time to share with them, especially since it had been a few years since seeing many of them.  We stayed at Bellows and did some sight seeing around the island, but I think we just really loved spending time together.  We had a lot of tired kids by the end of the day, but they got to know each other so much better.  So glad my kids have some great cousins to play with.  We had fun playing with everyone too.

The kids loved pretending they were fire dancers at the PCC

Monson Boys...ok some of them

Also, my aunt Doris, uncle Gabe, and cousins Danica and Dylan came to visit.  We got to spend a day at Hanauma Bay snorkeling and we went out to dinner with them.  They surprised me with a video of our wedding.  We couldn't believe it, because we didn't even remember that Gabe had taken it.  It was such a treat to watch it.  We got to do it with all of Jake's family and it was such a blast of memories.

We're so thankful for all the family and friends who came to visit this summer.  We have missed you while here in Hawaii.  And while we were busy and out of our routines, we wouldn't have it any other way.  Thank you and visit anytime!
