Family Reunion (BEWARE...long post)

We went to Big Island for a family reunion and spent time with EVERYONE! It was so much fun!
My brother Luke dropped us off at the airport (so we wouldn't have to pay for parking) and then as he drove off, we suddenly remembered that we forgot to take out Aaron's carseat! (ok...it was me that forgot to take it out!) Luke had to turn back around so we could drive Aaron around legally on the Big Island.
Our flight had a total of 15 Yuen's that were heading to the Big Island. Unfortunately our flight was delayed because of some technical difficulties so we were all transferred to another flight which happened to have David's sister's family on it. So that flight turned out to have 20 of us all going to the reunion!!


When we got to the Kona Airport, some of our bags were missing! So they said that we had to wait for the other flight to come in to see if it put there by accident. Well, everyone's bag started showing up and one our bags was not showing up! It was my duffel bag with my clothes, Aaron's clothes, diapers, our toiletries and our chargers. I was really bummed that it wasn't showing up. One of the workers there, who turned out to be an old housemate from BYUH days, told me that it could be on a flight coming in at like 3pm and so we could wait to see if it was on that flight. By that time, David had already gotten the rental car and ready to go to the hotel and relax. We decided to wait for the next flight and lo and behold, it was THERE!! Whoo hoo! I was so happy and relieved! I had no idea what I would do without all our stuff!
We checked in at the hotel and the first thing we did was go jump in the pool! We spent a lot of time at the pool while we were there! It was so much fun! Aaron loved it! I didn't take any pictures though. shucks.
The Saturday of the reunion, we went to Kohala since that is where David's grandma is from, and met up with the rest of the Yamamoto Ohana.

We ate, we played Hanafuda, we ate some more, spent time with family, met family we've never met before or haven't seen for a long time.

We played with party favors, blew bubbles and got to meet Lina Girl! (She plays in a group with one of David's cousins! COOL!!) She's super nice!


Unfortunately, the pictures on our camera are all blurry.
It sure was a lot of fun getting to spend time with all of the Yamamoto Ohana! Thanks for a great time!!
