Dispatch Pumpkin Contest

This year for Halloween our center did something so fun. We held a team pumpkin decorating contest. Each team decorated their pumpkin then we posted them on social media and had the public vote. Of course ours one! KJ did all the work and decorated ours to look like the Evil Queen from Snow White. It was a fun team building contest.

Hawaii Family Trip

Our first family trip to Hawaii. Everyone was extremely excited to be in such a beautiful place. We were joined by Alexis, Joe, John, Branden, Brittany, Grandpa Ted and Jean. We were the first to arrive but it didn't take long for the others to join us.

Brittany convinced us to go parasailing. I was a little nervous at first but we had a ton of fun. Only Tyler and Braiden came with me. Austin isn't a fan of water and Anthony didn't want to go.

I decided to google top things to do in Hawaii that were cheap and came across the Byodo-In Temple. This was all of our first time visiting here.

Everyone but the grandparents went on the 4-wheeling excursion. This was Anthony and my second time going but we loved it so much our first trip we wanted our boys to experience the fun too.

One of my favorite places in Hawaii is the Polynesian Culture Center and the Temple.

You can't go to Hawaii and not visit Pearl Harbor.

One night the boys hung out while all the adults went to the Starlight Luau. The boys got pizza at pizza hut and we got amazing Hawaiian food and a show.

We also visited the Pineapple Plantation

While on our trip we decided to take our family photos. Our photographer was John.

We had such a wonderful trip. None of us were ready to leave such a beautiful island and would love to return as soon as possible.
