Aloha...HAWAII!!!





We picked Noelle up from school and headed strait to LAX the kids were all so excited to see all the planes!


 <><>
Chloe's favorite part of flying..."all the parts" Noelle liked the "blasting off!" Noah well I don't think he really liked any of it, but he did not cry or make one peep the whole time! What a doll he is!! He did kick my dinner onto the floor and rice sprayed three rows, but hey i'm not complaining!!



Our beautiful view!!!!!!!

Ok thats enough talking let's get the the BEACH and the POOL!





Once we got the life jacket on Chloe, she would not get out of the water!



PINAPPLE PLANTATION~
We woke up so early every day because of the time change and nothing opens till 9:30 so we had lots of time on our hands!

Finally it opened and we got to see how pinapples grow....

Chloe got a time out...

We went to Julian for apple picking with our friends the Hill family...Harbor (Noelle's friend), Cove (Chloe's friend) and Crew (Noah's buddy)! Natalie's husband is deployed, Abe was out of town and we were feeling adventurous so we took all 6 kids by ourselves for the weekend !!!!! It was super hectic and super fun!!!

We bought the most delicious apple pie we have ever tasted!!!!!!

We picked apples together...

Vegas!

Vegas baby! Abe had a work trip to Vegas, so we tagged along! We had really amazing really expensive food and really expensive crappy food. If that makes sense? We played in the pool for hours every day. We ventured out one night after dark to show the kids the "kid friendly" Treasure Island pirate show (which turned out to be a strip dance on a boat) and the "kid friendly" Mirage volcano (which absolutely terrified all our children).  But we had a super duper time all together, and next stop on the Gardner train is...Hawaii!
