Our trip to Hawaii!

We just got back from a week in Hawaii and I think it would be an understatement to say we had a GREAT time!!! This was our first major family vacation, just the four of us. It was a blast and I feel very lucky to have such a great little family...love them so much!!! I have SO many pictures...couldn't post them all! Sam did great on the plane...she kept busy the whole time. When we got to our hotel (which was incredible), we saw this huge pond with tons of koi fish. They were SO active and would come at the surface of the water to get food...the girls loved that!









The best part of the hotel was the amazing pool!!! We spent SO much time by the pool...entire days of relaxing by the water, eating lunch and of course drinking cocktails! ;)


They also had a kids pool with a slide, Sam had lot of fun there.




The beach was right there too. Sam liked the ocean water...








Anaïs not so much! I think the noise of the waves freaked her out. She was much happier hanging out at the pool.










We also visited the island. Gorgeous and so wild! Forests, mountains, waterfalls, rivers...all so beautiful.











Sam loved making leaves bouquets...these leaves were HUGE!


Boat ride on the river:








Anaïs missed the waterfalls, she fell asleep in the tour bus.





But woke up for the next part of the visit ;)








Couldn't stay away from that pool for too long! lol





Then we went to a really great Luau:










Anaïs and Sam had some fruit punch to drink and had a pretty good red mustache from it.






Dancing after a good meal: More pool time...










I mean, really, how could we not spend our days there...look how beautiful!


The girls took a class to learn how to make leis with fresh flowers and seashell necklaces:
















We drove to the top of the mountains and the view was just incredible!













This is one of the spots where Jeff went scuba diving.
















She had to rest a little after all that! lol


AWESOME vacation!!!!!

He came early.

Easter Bunny that is!
I guess he knew we are leaving for Hawaii tomorrow so he left a little something for the girls this morning. They were pretty excited about being allowed to eat chocolate for breakfast! After all...it is Easter. ;)









Later today, we went to Jeff's mom for a little egg hunt. The girls had lots of fun.











It was a great day. Now I am finishing up packing and we are off to Hawaii tomorrow morning...can't wait for some warm sunny weather!!! After the winter we had we deserve it!

We will be back in one week! :)
