I know it's been a while since I've posted - sorry. This week we returned from a wonderful vacation in Hawaii.
Below is a picture of the kids snorkeling at one of the most beautiful beaches at Lani Kai.
Unfortunately, at this beach, my son Christopher got stung 3 times by Portuguese Man-Of-Wars. The kids nearby were capturing them in a bucket. They're very tiny, but definitely pack a sting.
Although, we brought an underwater camera, our pictures weren't very clear.
This was one of our best vacations, we can't wait to go back again. As on all my vacations, I brought some cutting to do...this was everything I cut up on this trip. This will make some fun projects in the future.
This weekend, my niece Natalie and her friend Jean hosted an awesome family gathering at their home in Novato. What a blast we had with all sorts of outdoor activities.

 |
| Outdoor pool table... |
 |
| Bowling... |
 |
| Air Hockey... |
 |
| Sports court and outdoor ping pong table... |

| And variety of pin ball machines. |
Wow, it was like being at a resort when you go to their home. We had the best time - thanks to Nat and Jean for hosting a great family gathering.
We even had time for a little crafting...
We put together mini books/journals.
The next couple of months, I'm going to be very busy - we have a short trip to LA coming up (has to do with Rachel's YouTube channel), some family & friend events planned, work just got super busy and then sending off my son to college (boo hoo), so probably won't have much time to do much crafting or posting.
really missed you and the family while you were vacationing in hawaii! what fun relaxing in paradise.

Looks like a great vacation - l love all the photos capturing your activities, including all the cut outs you did and the man of war in the pail. Also, great photos of Nat and Jean's party. There was definitely something for everyone to do. Nice to spend time with family again.
