Another year goes by, another trip to the Beach House in Santa Cruz. This year Gyttie and her family joined with myself, Chads family and Jeff with Tim were all there. The kids had fun as usual. They went for an early night swim (ill advised by the older kids and warned by the adults). They of course came back freezing, and there was no re occurrence of that. The weather was spectacular, clear blue sky by 7 o'clock in the morning and staying that way all day long. Its always nostalgic and relaxing. We are lucky to have been able to visit all these years.

Tylers 10th Birthday

Tyler Schafer had his 10th birthday celebrated at the Pizza factory in Valley Springs. He had family and about 10 friends to share his joy. It was a hit, Bakugan was the toy of the week and all of them were anxious to play a game with the ones that Tyler got. He had a big cake and a great time. We were just glad to be with him on one more joyous occasion.

LOVE YOU TYLER, Grandma and Grandpa

We went to Hawaii !!!!!!!

I've been lazy. We have done several things and had lots of nice outings since my last post. I will start with after the holiday season, we did our ski trip, its in a blog below. After that in Feb, we went to Maui for one week. Man, now I know why so many people keep going back and back again. We took Tyler and Angie's boy Jonathan. We all had a ball. The boys snorkeled morning day and night. We stayed at the Paki Maui, a condo and it was great. Just steps to the beach. The weather was with us all week long, great. We got tan and happy. The boys really outdid themselves to the point of falling asleep by very early evening, like six o'clock and waking early to start their water adventures. They went out on a snorkel trip to the crater, went to the aquarium and of course a Luau. We saw whale after whale right from our beach and anywhere else along the way. We can home so relaxed, the most of any trip I have ever taken. We will for sure return again.
