Our Trip to Hawaii


We were lucky enough to be invited by Chris' sister, Lara to go to Hawaii with them. I was on board from the minute she asked us to go. Chris and I always wanted to go back to Hawaii....alone. We were reluctant to take our girls, but it was the best decision we ever made. (I need to make it clear that we did not take Kate. I panicked the night before, but it turned out great.). We had the most incredible time. The girls had the time of their life swimming, swimming, and swimming. The place we stayed was incredible. It had a its own lagoon where you can snorkel without waves. It was absolutely beautiful. I've decided that if I could, I would live in Hawaii and visit Utah to see the snow. There's no where in the world I'd rather be.

The girls and the cousins were constantly looking for a chance to get their pictures taken.

There was nothing like the Hawaiian sunsets

The girls loved making sand castles
We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Chris wanted to "see the island". Our quick tour turned into a 3 hour drive. Atleast it was gorgeous scenery.
Cousins. The girls had so much fun with the boys.
This was my most favorite part of the trip...the shaved ice. They were to die for. Ella got to pick out a shirt from Hawaii and we walked out with this hat:)
