**I thought I should give some commentary besides just pictures. Nice, I know. Typical us, spur of the moment decision to take a free governement funded trip to hawaii and stay in a government funded hotel. Nice! So without much planning we were off. We pulled Natalie out of school for a few days and we enjoyed a break from this dreadful country we reside in.
In the airport. All the Asian airports have play areas for toddlers!!
This is what she did, but I admit she had some help. We owe the doc a drink for that! :)
The pool had this giant bean bag float thing. Nat loved it.
Where is Henley? Or Where is Waldo?
Dave and Busters fun. Gabby got so excited playing a game she peed everywhere!!!
Shout out to Miss Daisy who graciously shared her 2T clothes with Gabby! That box of clothes was very handy.
Aww Sisterly love
She thought she was a mermaid. Yes, the can not be in the sun light without glasses. It might be time for a trip to the optometrist to see why her eyes swell and water when in sunlight.
Need I saw anything on this picture other than AWWWWW (on a side note the sun and sand must have done her some good because in 13 days she gained 2 lbs!! Oh the fatness)
Spooning sisters
Watch the Hangover and you will laugh just like I did.
Still cracks me up seeing Rick with Henley.
Cheers for our family. We tried rock paper scissors to see who got the lighter child, but it was a tie. They weigh the same! I did win because its easier to hike with 25 pounds on your back than dangling from your chest. Sucker!!!
Rick had a college pal in town with his 3 daughters and wife. We went hiking with them and to Pearl Harbor one day. I could have gotten rich off the number of comments we received regarding the number of girls we have. Yes, we have 3 girls ages 8 months, 2 and 7. They have 3 girls ages 9, 6 1/2 and 3 1/2. Yes, we know that is a lot of girls. Yes, the teenage years will be interesting. Yes, there is lots of pink. Yes, we might try again, but don't hold your breath because 3 kids fit in a car! Any more and we have to upgrade! LOL.
They love each other and hate each other in the same breath.
Gosh her smile makes me smile.
This man cannot get enough of his girls
Waiting to go into Pearl Harbor.
Best family shot we could get. Poor Natalie looks a little special. I like to build a collection of pictures of my kids looking off. Gabby she was "crying" her poor eyes.
She is always smiles.
This man was a Pearl Harbor survivor and just completed a book. Rick and Natalie met him while I was changing a kid and got him to sign the book. Definitely great if you are a history buff like Rick. Natalie doesn't look as happy as Rick. Guess she isn't into history either!
U.S.S. Arizona
The girls became Junior Park Rangers after completing a scavenger hunt around Pearl Harbor learning facts about Pearl Harbor, the tragedy and World War II. After completing their booklets they returned to the Park Ranger where they were sworn in. I think we need to work on Right and Left Hand for Gabby. She was raising her "right" hand to be sworn in.
Ladies Man.....
Nothing sweeter than a snow cone.
Evening walk after dinner
We really need to work on their tree climbing skills. When I was her age I could scale a tree. These trees were amazing and perfect for climbing. Neither girl would go any higher. Guess Mom will have to teach them to climb a tree. Or better yet, MomMom.
