CAN I GO BACK???
We had an amazing vacation! Ahh... 9 days in Kona with our friends, the Barratts, from Park City. 5 days later, after being home sick and taking care of sick kids, I just want to go back to Hawaii where life was simple: eat, go the the beach, eat, go back to the house and swim, eat, read, play cards, sleep. Soooo nice... and warm.... and beautiful. And no one was throwing up (except Greg that one night. Chinese food at the Honolulu airport = food poisoning. Who would have thought?)
Here are some highlights:
The kids out picking bananas for morning smoothies.
Meet the Barratts (Shelley, Greg, Grace, Henry, Elsa)
Lizzy
Lizzy found her soul mate in Henry. They share a love for mischief, sugar, and general craziness. Henry kept it no secret that he was going to marry Lizzy. Lizzy thought that would be okay "unless they had more arguments."
This is what Henry was hiding behind his dinner plate one night. Yes, those sugar packets are all empty. It's so Lizzy.
Beautiful Scenery
On Sunday, our one rainy day, we drove to the "wet" side of the island to find some waterfalls and big surf.
Run away!
McKenna was so excited most of the trip that we had a hard time keeping her feet on the ground. Check it out:
Sydney
preferred her pink floatie to a boogie board and loved jumping the waves as they crashed.
Charlotte
Charlotte spent most of the time sandy,
sleep deprived,
very curly (from the humidity,)
and spoiled with mommy and daddy time.

hooray! You blog!! I am thrilled! I do, too, but it's not cute like yours. I really need to spend some time figuring out how to make it cuter, but I just dont.
I LOVE that you think of us when you go on a vacation, because we only did it once, and must do it more! I love HI -- it's my favorite place for so many reasons . . . you guys look so great, and save one of your beautiful daughters for our boys! I'm all for arranged marriages . . :)
Hope your Christmas and New Years are great!
What are you talking about?? Your blog is great!
Darling beach photos of your beautiful girls. I especially love McKenna's enthusiasm! Hilarious. Bytheyway, I miss vacation too...the simple pleasures of a cold drink by the beach with a book. Can't wait for my next trip! Maybe we'll have to hit Hawaii.
