Hawaii 2007

In 2005 we went to Kauai so this time the family decided to visit the big island of Hawaii. We stayed on the Kona side of the island but we made a trip into Hilo to see the waterfalls and the town of Hilo. We spent most of the time playing on the beach, but we also swam with Mantarays and sea turtles, snorkeled, boogie-boarded, and hiked around the island. Jason and John rented bikes for the week and went cycling about the island a number times. Kona is the location of the Ironman World Championship and since Jason plans on participating in his first Olympic distance triathlon in June he enjoyed training while on the island. Below is a slideshow of our vacation. And check below for other pics from our trip home to CA for Christmas.

YEAH! I was hoping you had posted your pics! You are all so cute! What an incredible trip, it looks like TONS of fun! You look so great in your little white bathing suit (that probably sounds gay-oh well)! I can't wait to talk and hear all about it! I love Jas's family!

I just tried leaving a comment so I'll try it again. Sorry if it comes up twice! I was just saying that that looks like such a fun vacation! I'm curious to hear which island you liked better. And it looks like you were able to do some fun stuff, despite your prg. sickness.

Wow, you guys have been busy! California and Hawaii! I bet it was hard to come back to the cold and snow!

P.S: we're sad we won't be seeing you guys at church every week. We'll have to get together and play games or something!

WOW! Congrats on being pregnant! that is awesome! So what is this Triatholon your are jumping into in June Jason? Is it in Cali? Probably a full Ironman huh, you are crazy like that! I am getting ready for the oceanside Ironman 70.3 right now. It is in the end of March. Hey are you racing with a group of Peeps, or are you flying solo? IF you have a group, you totally need to do a blog and log everything...check this out, it has really kept everyone going...www.swim-bikerun.blogspot.com Well good luck with everything, it sounds like you guys are keeping busy!
