Liv and I arrived back in CA this morning. Jeff was scheduled to fly to Vancouver, but got called back in to the Honolulu plant... he's still there. And we're not sure what's in store for the next couple days on that front.
The rest of our stay on O'ahu was very nice!! We spent a few hours at a nearby surf beach with friends - Liv was very impressed with the local big kids & their games. (boogie boarding in the beach break, climbing trees, etc.) The next day we had another terrific afternoon/evening at Ala Moana Beach Park and later at their home with our friends, Chis and Claudia. Saturday Liv and I had a very nice visit with another friend and her kids at their home in Kailua. But otherwise we stayed pretty close to the resort and played in the beach, fish ponds, and pool! No complaints!!
There were loads of little kids at the resort. And I was impressed to see Liv interacting & playing with a few of them during our stay. She'd share her shovels & beach toys, she'd wade and splash and sit in the water with them. It was pretty cool. She also became much more comfortable in the water - by the last day, if she tripped & fell & got her face in the water; she'd scramble into the shallower water to recover - but no crying and no big panic for the most part.
Here are a few more images from our Hawaii adventures.

Pretty fun stuff!
Mom & Liv playing at the beach.Now, back home. rainy & cool - but not horrible. Unpacking and the piles of laundry that accompany that task! It's also time to start tying up a few outstanding details about the home purchase/move. We'll try to pack a few boxes a day - get quotes from movers, truck rentals & make a plan on that front. Finalize the home insurance & mortagage loan. And a few other miscellaneous tasks... It's exciting stuff!! And everything appears to be on track for the closing NEXT WEEK!!! yay!!
