Hawaii was a Success

Grandma & Grandpa brought Oliver this cute Hawaiian outfit!


Grandma and Grandpa (my parents) finally went to Hawaii!!!

For my mom and dad's 30th anniversary (June 10th) we (us, Ryan & Ashly, and my dad's parent's) gave my parents a trip to Hawaii.  My grandparents had actually given them skymiles to take the trip with 5 years ago for their 25th anniversary but they just never went.  So last fall I called my grandma and told her to book the tickets.  We planned the trip for about a month after their anniversary so they could have time to prepare.  Ryan & I picked the hotel and booked/paid for that part of the trip.  So with the 2 biggest components of the trip taken care of they had no excuses, plus everything was paid for so there was no backing out!

The trip was July 8th - 14th and they had a great time!  I think this was the best surprise I ever pulled off!

That outfit is so cute, and that is so sweet that you guys did that for your parents.

Megan, that is fantastic! You can put a bug into Josh and Sophie's ear in about 15 years and have them do the same thing for us (ha ha). Anyway, what a sweet thing to do for two wonderful people.
