Vacation - Day 1 (May 31)

Today we got up early and made our way to the airport for a two-week trip to Hawaii. The girls are all very excited!


Despite the 6-hour plane ride, everyone did very well. We weren't the only ones with with a group of kids either - I heard the flight attendants saying it was probably the most kids they've seen on a flight before. We just kept the pretzels, crayons, and DVD's coming.


When we got here, the wind was blowing pretty good, so we decided to start our swimming days on Monday
.

But nothing could keep the kids (or us) from taking our shoes off on the beach. Of course we took a minute for a quick Christmas Card picture.


We also got to see what I hope is the first of many beautiful sunsets.


It was a pretty long day, but in the end everyone was just glad to be in paradise.
