Saying goodbye to old friends

Today is Xavier's last day at Robin's before starting his new place next week. Were going to miss Robin & Mike!

Which duck is which?

Hawaii trip pictures

I am just getting to post pictures from Hawaii...whew! We had an amazing and busy trip!

I read an article that said when you travel with young children it's not a vacation, it's a trip....and that i s exactly what this was - a family trip. We worked really hard to shuffle the kids from one place to the next and keep everyone on their schedule as much as possible, but with a 3 hour time difference, it was a challenge.

I hope the kids somewhat remember their first plane ride and this trip through these 500+ pictures.

Bobby & I tried to get out a couple of times to go have a drink and enjoy some down time, which was nice. We had an amazing Sushi dinner one night and some drinks at a bar another. We were glad to have good friends with us to watch the kids - they needed a break from us just as much, I am sure.

They were awesome on the flight! We got compliments from other travelers and flight attendants that thought the kids did great.

Here are some pictures from our "trip:"
