New Camera and No Training Wheels

Our family camera finally puttered out on us, so we went to Best Buy this morning to replace it.  The rain stopped for a bit this afternoon and we thought it was a perfect opportunity to try it out when Blair wanted to take her training wheels off.


Dad did the bulk of the work, patiently helping Blair go back and forth on the boardwalk.


Blair was all smiles the entire time.


This is my favorite action shot.  Dad was right there to grab her and we avoided all falls.


Here are two adorable pictures of Will also:

Hawaii Video

Here is our video from Hawaii:





Hawaii Trip Report

We had a great trip to the Disney Aulani hotel in Hawaii.  We were welcomed with leis and necklaces when we arrived.


Blair and Will were excited to feed the koi fish in the pond.

We met Minnie right away at the pool:


We checked out the pool on our first morning and the kids loved swimming:



The water slides were a huge hit and the kids were so brave.






All dressed for dinner:




Ice cream break by the pool:


Blair was excited to try snorkeling and after awhile, was incredibly good at it:


One morning, we had a character breakfast:








We heard about some lagoons with wildlife within walking distance, so we set out to find some.  We saw a seal close up on these rocks:





We waded with some sea turtles:






The kids loved the kids' club at the hotel and even made space glue with Stitch one morning.


We spent one morning at the beach at our hotel while Dad and Papa played golf:



Here are some more fun pool shots:














Brack and Jenn took a surf lesson one morning and had a blast:


Will and Blair surfed on a rock:


We went to the luau show at the hotel one night and enjoyed the music and dancing:
