We had the opportunity to vacation in Hawaii this May with my parents (John and Jean Olsson) along with my little sister and brother (Joanna and Johnny). It was a absolute blast and I couldn't have asked for a more relaxing time. We stayed at the Marriott Beach Club in Ko Olina which is on the island of Oahu. It was Jacob's first long plane ride, as well as, trip to the beach and time in a pool. He was a dream travel baby. The plane ride went well and he even managed to charm the ladies sitting next to us so that there was no way they would be agitated at the slightest cry he made. Watching him on the beach was such a blast. He would be so content just to sit in the sand and play with the little granules in his hands. It took a little while for us to get him to warm up to the pool. I believe he was just overwhelmed by the size of it (not quite the same as the bath tub!) However, after awhile, he started to relax and enjoy himself. He absolutely loved the waterfalls the resort had falling all over the pool. We had such a great time and are already missing it.

What do you mean we're leaving?!!!
Mike, Jacob, and I had the opportunity to finally get down to Lodi, CA to visit Mike's parents and sisters. Mike set up a last minute meeting with a customer down in Stockton, CA and so Jacob and I tagged along for a nice visit with family. Jacob got to meet for the very first time his aunts Julie and Mary, uncle Eric, and cousins Alexa and Ryder. It was wonderful to get to see everybody and watch Jacob get to know each and every new face. Jacob and I stayed to played with Grandma Hanks and Alexa all day while Mike was meeting customers. Alexa was great with Jacob and entertained him the entire day. Mike would get home and then we would have an amazing meal made special by Grandma Hanks with all the family. We love you guys so much and wish that we could get more opportunities to get down there and see you. Mike, Jacob and I all send hugs your way.
