4th of July - Hawaii Ohana Reunion

On Sunday morning we all met at the Ford's new AMAZING home and

had breakfast and caught up on life while the kids ran around like crazy.

Lance and Kara thanks for letting us come enjoy your BEAUTIFUL home,

and for feeding us.:)

I only brought my 50mm lens and decided the kids had to sit in good lighting

so luckily Erin had a wider angle lens on her camera.

Thanks Erin :)

Whose bright idea was it to have the kids get together and get their pictures taken?

It is always a must

no matter how much they dislike it :)

This is what I was able to capture from the side.

This is what Brielle thinks

about the whole thing.

Jo Jo was all about it,

Krew on the other hand decided to let the

water works start

which just started a chain

reaction for Teja, then Brady

and Jo Jo only for a second,

here she is already wiping away her tears

Bella, Bode and Graham

just hung out and wondered

what all the crying was about,

and why the adults were jumping around

like crazy people

trying to get them to smile.

torture almost over.

what's that? pictures are done.

OK I am good :)

Kara rewarded them with fruit snacks, Kali decided to shove them all in a once

and we told Jo Jo to say cheese forgetting she had fruit snacks in her mouth

this is what we get :)

I was so excited for Krew and Jo Jo to get together again,

I wasn't prepared for this. Kali and Jo Jo, best friends :)

Brielle you are adorable and win the

most Hawaiian looking award.

Look how dark that girl it!

Brady showing us is throwing and catching skills.

The stunning Williams Family.

the girls.

man love.

From Kali's point of view.

This is what happens when Ohana get together,

Aaron became Derek's brother,

Lance stepped in for James since he was not able to be there.

(You were missed James!)

and Jo Jo became Krew's twin.

Low Family, Ford Family

Bagley Family, Williams Family

Jones Family

If I can see through the tears streaming down my face

I can finish with my thoughts of how much I LOVE seeing my Ohana.

The friends we made in Hawaii are PRICELESS!

Hawaii is paradise, but for me the people we met are what made it

a true paradise.
