The London Bridge is not falling down...they just moved it to Lake Havasu! Who knew? I took a trip this weekend and ended up in Lake Havasu to visit my brother and his family and saw an amazing sight. The London Bridge. Yes, the one from the nursery rhyme and that song by Fergie. It was a short trip (if you can call any trip taken with four kids short) and we detoured to Big Bear for a snow day on the way home. It was great to visit Dan and Jess and family to see the new addition. New adorable addition named Elijah Burke Aston. It was so nice to visit them and see their new house and spend time together. We also got to visit Dan's classroom (he teaches at Lake Havasu High-GO KNIGHTS) It was fun to see him in his element. We had a great time and on the way home we took a detour and swung by Big Bear for a snow day.

The cousins-little did we know that they had been bribed by Grandpa to smile. With the Japanese candy that they all love, Hi-chews!
On the way home we stopped to collect some volcanic rocks. You can never have enough lava rocks right?
This is a typical Hunsaker Family shot-I thought I would let our imperfections show so the rest of the pics will look fab!

Aloha! I am faced with the daunting task of trying to recreate through blog our amazing family vacation to Hawaii! It's impossible, I guess I will have to just take you all there so you can see for yourself! It was so beautiful. We are so grateful to John and Mandy for their hospitality. The week flew by, everyday we explored the island and found a new spot that we loved. Kayaking, snorkeling, surfing, hula lessons, hiking a volcanic crater, visiting Pearl Harbor, swimming in the bluest, warmest water ever. It was a priceless experience that I hope my family remembers forever!
