This is where you take your baggage to be checked onto the plane

With a few hours of being delayed we had a great time in Kona. It was a very fast trip and a lot of car time (the kids HATED the car after this trip). The main reason for stopping in Kona was to see the Volcanoes. Not as exciting as I thought (I was expecting Dante's Peak) but it was cool to see everything! Still to come...Maui

Jenga!

Diana hated this game by this part :)

Tower down, tower down

We moved to the table

3 girls and 4 bottles of wine = happiness!

Diana invited us over for games and wine! Doesn't get much better than that.

Snow Before Sun

When you can't ski (yet - more on that later) you play in the snow

It's tough work being a cheerleader for your brother

Last run of the day

Before we headed to Hawaii for sun, Grandma & Grandpa took us up to the mountain to get Baker on the snow a bit. Shane had to work with the race team, so it was just us. I entertained Makenzie and we were cheerleaders on the sidelines cheering Baker on. He did great. Just wait until you see the pictures of him AFTER Hawaii! That sun must have rejuvenated him.

And This Is What Sweet Dreams Looks Like...

Have a great day!
