Family BBQ

We arrived in Hawaii and went to work unpacking everything we packed just a few weeks ago. The family had a welcome BBQ/ farewell to Robyn/Happy Birthday Unkie Jonathan (pretty much an excuse to eat, drink and get fat).

Beach day 2

Staying at Grandma Lee's

After our stuff got boxed up we stayed at Grandma Lee's. Alyssa had lots of fun with Thomas messing up the house, dancing, going to the beach and watching Michael Phelps win 8 gold medals. She misses her partner in crime!

Moving

Shortly after it was time to pack up and prepare for our move to Hawaii. I don't think the reality of the move hit us until all our things were boxed up. In the meantime, Alyssa figured out how to walk (probably to prevent complete boredom without any toys).

O.C. Fair

Alright, so if you haven't already figured out, I'm a horrible blogger. Here is the quarterly update. All the girls (Mom Lee, Meri, Britty and I) and the kids took a visit to the O.C. Fair. It was my first time there and one thing that caught my eye were the signs for all the food. It was fried food paradise - everything from frog legs to oreos. It took us awhile to find the petting zoo and when we did, the goats did a great job at freaking out the kids. In the kid's defense, I would be afraid of an animal as tall as me trying to knaw at my clothes.
