Whew! What a Weekend!

It was a thrilling weekend for the Harmelings, this past weekend. Stef, Lance and I headed over to one of our most favorite, indulgent, spots for a night at the Mauna Kea to celebrate one year of marriage and introduce Lance to his eagerly awaiting auntie and uncle, Les and Jeff!

Here's a shot of their meeting. Jeff had just come back from a successful fishing expedition (hence the footwear- he doesn't wear black socks on the beach unless he's wearing them with his Birkenstocks) and Les was enjoying some r&r:

I was super excited to introduce Lance to my sis, but also to get some time with her myself!

Lance took his longest recorded nap since his sleepy first week with Daddy on the lounge chair. He agrees, the Mauna Kea is just sooooooo relaxing...

The excitment came to a head on Sunday when Lance donned his mismatched swim outfit and made his way down to the ocean for his first dip!

We really weren't sure what to expect, considering that the water was a tad chilly getting in even for us! But, to our total delight, he didn't fuss one bit! In fact, after a couple of minutes, he even started to enjoy himself!

Here's a shot of Lance warming up in Daddy's t-shirt after the big event:

As you can see, it was an action packed weekend! Nothing beats family time, favorite hotels and salt water!

Below are a couple of videos of Lance's ocean swim. Enjoy!
