Family weekend Getaway!

This last weekend we went over to Big Island as a family.  We stayed at a beach home that Brandon's cousins from Utah, and California rented. Then On Saturday we went to the Hilton for one night. While we were there we got to go see the stars, went to a sea horse farm, Brandon and I went diving (well he dove and I snorkeled).  
Thanks to all the Jacobsmeyer family for such a fun family vacation.......

This is on our way up to see the stars at Mauna Kea.  Big Island is still growing with the active volcanoes. It was amazing to see all the lava rock.
Then the next day we went to a Sea Horse farm. It was very interesting to see how they grow. Also did you know the male is the one to carry the eggs and give birth... Yippy!!!!!

(the rules are they have to be 5 and older to hold a sea horse, but the lady could not resist branson saying ME HOLD HORSE PLEASE over and over!!)
small little tide pool where the boys got to hold and touch everything!

HILTON:
After we left the beach house we stayed at the Big Island Hilton. It was so beautiful, there were many pools, dolphins, and so much to do...


Here are the boys at the beach pool!


We had such a fun time we will defiantly do this vacation again!!!
