Hawaii

At the beginning of January we went to HAWAII! I know this post is super late but it really is the most exciting thing to happen to us lately and these are the most recent pictures on my computer. I have been such a slacker lately!

The whole point of the trip was to see my brother get married. My camera died at the rehearsal dinner and I forgot my charger. Lame, I know. But here they are together with our crazy family!

I am not too big a fan of the ocean but I really enjoyed sitting on the beach and working on my tan. Rosalie usually hung out in the water but in this picture she was spending some quality time with mama! Do you think we look alike? I think she is Guy's twin! And those are my awesome sunglasses that I had to buy there! I forgot to pack mine.

Our hotel had penguins and flamingos! If you didn't already know, Vaughn's favorite animal is the penguin. It was pretty cool but really smelly. After the excitement of the birds wore off we realized that they stink. But of course, the little boys didn't mind. Here is Vaughn with his cousin, Max, checking out the exhibit!

There are so many cool things to do in Hawaii but they all cost an arm and a leg and your first born! Luckily we were willing to sacrifice Vaughn so we could take a submarine ride! Guy and Vaughn loved it. I thought it was just so-so. I wouldn't pay to do it again.

Vaughn absolutely fell in love with his Uncle Casey on the trip. He is my oldest brother and he loves kids. He is so much fun and always up for a good time!

Here is Rosalie showing off her model lips.

Vaughn and Max were best friends. Max was so sweet with Vaughn. Even though he was older he never got frustrated. He was never mean to Vaughn. I was really impressed. I think that they will be great friends as they grow up!!

I will hate myself for posting this but I think every family needs a picture of them at the ocean. So here we are! Please don't look at me!

On our first night in Hawaii Rosalie decided to taste the sand. It was good that she got it over with then because she didn't try to do it again the whole trip! Live and learn I guess...

We had the most beautiful view from our hotel room. The kids loved playing on the balcony (Vaughn even drove a car off of it once). It was a great trip. A wonderful time with family. I don't know if we will make it back to Hawaii any time soon but it was definitely the trip of a lifetime!
