MAMA BEAR FAMILY REUNIONS

This was our first year starting "Mama Bear" Family Reunions.  Really, any woman who has children can be called a "Mama Bear".  With that thought in mind, we gathered our cubs together to spend time.  Family reunions are about reconnecting families, enjoying great food, sharing experiences, laughter, fun and making memories together.  This was a trip, we will soon not forget.  We are hoping in the years to come, other family members will join us.

DAY ONE - Travel Day

Picture
Kids arrive about 5-6:00 p.m. to the island.  You will be greeted with a warm hug and a cold beverage.  Everyone will be tired, so Nani has a simple dinner, and a campfire sing along planned.  There will be a lot of excitement, as we haven't seen each other (in a long time) so just enjoy it.

Jayleen was co-pilot, on the ride over from the mainland.

Everyone arrived to the island safely, and received a cold refreshing coconut water to enjoy.
