Finally, Hawaii Pictures!

I know, it has taken me way toooo long to get these Hawaii pictures on my blog. I came home so excited to get them on and then bam, we all got strep throat. Then, life just got busy as it always does. Anyway, better late than never I guess. I'm not so good at this blogging thing.

Maui was absolutely amazing. We braved the crazy long airplane ride with the kids because we knew how much fun they would have once we got there. It was a blast! We spent most of our time on the beach, boogie boarding, body surfing, building sandcastles, searching for sea shells and watching for whales from the shore (We planned the trip so that it would be the peak whale season. I can't get enough of the humpback whales that migrate down from Alaska to mate and give birth this time of year.)



On the Whale Watching Tour Boat!






Little C could not sit still during the boat ride. She loved it!



A beautiful whale jumping out of the water!



A cute story board collage I made for T's bedroom of him learning to boogie board!




Our Fam in a hut that someone had built on the beach. The kids loved playing in it. T thought it was his own personal "palace" built just for him.


Mommy & C



Beautiful Hawaiian Sunset!




Little C doing what she does best, digging in the sand!




Nothin' like a genuine Hawaiian Shaved Ice! Yum Yum!



Paradise!




Our little Surfer Boy!


What a handsome little dude, if I do say so myself!


T had his first experience snorkeling. He absolutely loved it. I was so proud of him!




Mommy snorkeling in to T.






Daddy and C playing in the waves. C doesn't have much fear. We would take her out and then she would want us to let her go so she could swim. Crazy little girl! Give yourself a few years!





Our Masterpiece! Okay it was really mine. I think I got more into the sandcastle building than T. C just wanted to destroy everything I made. Fun fun for everyone!



My handsome hubby waiting for the "Big One!"

So in between changing C's clothes into her swimsuit she couldn't wait to play. She ran away. T put her on the boogie board and just pulled her all around. She was in heaven! Too cute!

I also love your pink cover-up (I'm not sure if that's what it is called).
