Dance the night away

Here is a little video of Hailey spring dance recital:

We took the kids to the Zoo for Memorial day, to have a little family time. Apparently, that is what most of Utah was thinking. I have never seen the zoo that busy, but we still had a blast. Hailey got to see her elephants, and she could have sat there all day.

Gavin was in awe of all the animals and he couldn't stop saying, "oooh and aahh".

You have to do the carousel right? Gavin screamed when we took him off.

and of course the train:

and back to the elephants for little Hailey

Hawaii

We had our first Adams family reunion in Hawaii this year. Pretty awesome!!! We went to Maui and had a great time. We played on the beach and in the pool. We left the kids with Grandma and Grandpa so we could go snorkeling, which was amazing. My brother Chase almost stepped on a sea turtle. We saw 4 huge sea turtles while snorkeling, and lots of beautiful fish. It was heaven to wake up to the sound of the ocean and run alongside the beach in the morning, then lay on it in the afternoon, then watch the sun set from it in the evening. It was truly my heaven.

Gavin and Hailey had so much fun. When they woke up the first morning, we heard a knock on our door, so Greg went to open it... it was Hailey, "Dad! Look! The ocean!" and Gavin was looking and pointing, "THIS!!!"

We actually did an organized family activity and left the kids with Miss. Alice (an islander/babysitter). We went zip lining, which was a ball.

We then got ready and went to a fun luau, where we got to taste food from four different islands/cultures. The food was great and the entertainment was very fun for the kids.

Gavin especially loved the Lava Flows:

Girls Vegas Trip

Every year my girlfriends take a trip to Vegas to take some much needed relaxation time. I can't remember the last time I did that much shopping. Shopping is relaxing... right? We were on a mission to shop! We had a great time and got some wonderful sun time as well.

We had fun playin' around... what else are you gonna do when you don't go to the clubs or gamble. We ran into some guys that were really confused at the fact that we were in Vegas and had no plans to "explore" all of what Vegas has to offer, but we had a ball.
