Thanksgiving in Ontario

During my fall break, I went to Ontario to spend Canadian Thanksgiving with my brother Jeff and his family while they are living there for this year.

Adam and Erica's Wedding Celebration

Adam and Erica had a celebration at Adam's family home in Hawaii after their wedding in Washington. Since we weren't able to make it to the wedding, we were so glad we got to see them here!

Anniversary on the Big Island III

Our second day on the island was spent enjoying some of the amenities at our hotel and then exploring Kona before catching our plane home. It was a great way to spend our first anniversary!

Anniversary on the Big Island II

At the Hilton, we had to take a boat to get around the resort. Here we are on our way to dinner.

Anniversary on the Big Island

For our first anniversary, we went to the Big Island of Hawaii for the weekend. We had a great time relaxing and exploring.
On day one, after climbing 14,000 feet in our Chevy Cobalt and becoming rather altitude sick we made it to the top of Mauna Kea, one of the mountains on the Big Island. Bryon claims that it was the best experience of his time in Hawaii so far!














The top of Mauna Kea has about 12 different observatories since it is one of the best places in the world to view the stars.

Bryon's B-Day Present

For my 25th birthday present Christy got me a windsurfing lesson at Kailua beach. Here I am mastering windsurfing on the beach. I was definitely better at windsurfing on the beach than I was in the water.

Taylor's 26th Birthday

University of Hawaii vs. University of Northern Colorado

Bryon got free tickets from his boss, and so we ended up at the UH vs. UNC football game, and I'm pretty sure we were the only UNC fans (since UNC is in Bryon's hometown of Greeley, CO). We almost got booed out of the stadium after UH beat UNC 63-6!















Here is Heisman Hopeful and Hawaiian Celebrity, Colt Brennan throwing a touchdown. Awwwright!
















Christy's first ever football game and she is lovin' it.
















We had the pleasure of sitting by a real Hawaiian named Jerry Morgado who works with me at Parsons. Here we are looking Tuff.

Camping Olympics

The Inagural Camping Olympics were a success with events such as the tent pole high jump, the tent pole javelin and the long jump. In the end, Mark claimed the gold medal with Bryon in second and Will in third.



Taylor flying high in the high jump. My face says it all, "AWESOME".



Here is me throwing the tent pole javelin, landing a very respectable 2nd place finish.



Here is Christy jumping into first place in the U-35 girls long jump competition.

Soccer Thursdays

Most Thursday's Taylor and I head to Kailua Beach Park for pick-up soccer.



We routinely get outplayed by men and women twice our age. As you can see in this picture, Taylor and I are taking an extended water break while everyone else is still playing in the background.
