Hi All,
I will say that the 2nd half of 2023 flew by so quickly. Everyone was super busy with work and school. We took some time out to play too which is really important!
Olivia and I caught the Chiefs and Chargers game in early October which was a beautiful day for football! Who knows how well this news will age, but Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift had just started dating and she was in the suite just behind us. Exciting times for all (especially my almost 12YO Swiftie)!
We visited Cabo again for Fall Break which is always a great time. Olivia took the prize with this sailfish!
Quinn had a marlin technically landed but they were unable to bring it in for the photo op. He did get this sailfish though! They both had fun and lots of 'reel' opportunities.
Jason checked an item off his bucket list by getting seasick and feeding the fish on the way back in! To be honest, it was a rough, choppy ride out there. Don't worry! I didn't get a pic of him puking!
There was a lot of activity in our kitchen this past year! Both of the kids are working on signature dishes. Olivia has really perfected the chocolate chip cookie, especially a gluten free variety, which is wonderful! Quinn and I have been making a lot of pot pies and he's also working on actual pies. Apple is his favorite as well as cheesecake. The kid can do really yummy pretzels too!
I helped him put together a little menu to pass around the neighborhood and sell some of his baked goods!
The last 2 weeks of the year were definitely the best though! We took a trip to the Cook Islands, with a stopover in Hawaii on both ends, to round out the year. Our friends, the Smith Family, joined us on the adventure and it was a blast!
Here are some pics of the kids hanging together. Getting off the plane to Aitutaki, Olivia climbing a tree for some nu coconut and playing games on one of the rainy days.
