Hawaii 2010

In March, we got to travel to our most favorite place, Hawaii! And to maximize our fun, we went with 3 other couples and six little munchkins. It was such an amazing trip! We took over 700 photos, and had about 1500 more shared from the others, so be forewarned...


Up bright and early and on our way!

We're here!

Here's the house, right on Pipeline.

Our backyard view.

Pathway down to the beach.

Walking down from the house.



Future surf buddies.

These pools formed right on the beach and would change each day. It was perfect to play in, the kids loved it.


Rocky Point.

McKay loved rubbing the sand on his belly.

McKay playing with Jack Johnson's little boy. He and his wife ended up camping out next to us on the beach, so we got to hang out a bit. Yep, we're friends now. ;)



We found this kiddie pool to set up in the backyard. McKay was obsessed. He was in that thing rain or shine, clothed, naked, or even sneaking out in his Pj's before I could change him! Every morning it was straight to the pool. 




The sunsets were breathtaking.




McKay had so much fun with all of his little buddies. Here he is giggling with Jade.

"Pounding it" (knuckles) with Micah.

Head-butting, too...boys!

Frosting cupcakes, for the birthday girl, Auden.


Yum, Acai!

Two little monkeys, climbing up a tree!


The boys got lots and lots of surfing in.


At Kua Aina's, the best Avacado burger ever! So good. And the company, even better! I love these people.



The last couple of days, the waves got really big. Even Waimea was breaking.



Eating Matsumoto's shaved ice, yum...

At Haleiwa Joe's

On Sunday, we went to see the temple. It is such a beautiful temple.


All of the kiddos. We were in awe that they all sat still for this adorable, winning shot!

This is the whole gang of us!

We went to the macadamia nut farm for my favorite dried coconut treat.

We also stopped by a Buddhist Temple.




This is one of my favorite shots, of the kids banging the 'Gong'.


And, of course, we had to go to Duke's in Waikiki. We really lucked out having a babysitter for three of the nights there, thanks to Kait, Lindsay's sister.


We stopped in Lanikai, at this amazing beach. It was so beautiful!





We all had so much fun together, I wish that it could never end. Can't wait for next time!
