Aloha part 2!!

After Oahu, we went to Maui. Below is a picture of one of the views from the Hyatt Regency on Maui. Maui is more laid back than Oahu, we spent time at the pool, went boogie boarding, spent time at the local aquarium, went whale watching, and went snorkeling at Black Rock.

For those who want to see a very early baby bump, it doesn't show too much, but it shows more with a bathing suit on.

Kylie loved the boogie board.

So did Ted.

When we went whale watching, a whale came right up to our boat and swam under it. Here is the close up shot.

This is the shot of the whole whale, he was a big one.

Needless to say Hawaii was a blast. We had a good time, 16 days went really fast. We don't really want to be home, but at least we have our little girl to look forward to and start preparing for. She will be here pretty fast.

Aloha!!!

Isn't my niece Molly cute! I love this picture.


We got back from a 2 1/2 week trip to Hawaii with my family on Tuesday morning and I am finally getting around to posting pictures and telling a little about our trip. Ted took so many pictures that I really don't know which ones to post. We went with my Mom and Dad, my brother and sister-in-law and their 3 girls. First we went to Oahu since Teddy had never been to Hawaii and neither had Jessie or the 3 girls. Here is a picture of me with all of our luggage. There was a lot.

We stayed at the Hyatt Regency on Waikiki Beach. Here is a picture of the view from our room.

We spent our first day letting the kids play on Waikiki beach. It was fun, we buried both Scott and Ted in the sand. We then had lunch by the pool. While Kylie continued to get her fill of the water.
Cute Jessie and Molly.

Ted half buried in the sand, I had sculpted a mermaid tail for him.

While on Oahu we visited the Dole Pineapple plantation, went to the PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center), had family pictures taken at a Buddist Temple, went to Pearl Habor, and went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay.

After about a week we transferred to Maui. I'll post about Maui and the rest of the trip later. It has taken a long time to post this much.
