Aloha!

We spent a week in Hawaii at the beginning of the month, where we did nothing but rotate between the beach and the pool. It was perfect.

The flight over was a little crazy. It's no fun traveling this pregnant, and Lilly had just about everything happen to her. By the time we arrived in Hawaii, Lilly didn't have any shoes, pants, or underwear. But we were in paradise, and who needs shoes and pants in paradise?

Tyler and I were able to rest up and read lots of books. We also had lots of fun playing with the girls on the beach and the pool. They learned to body surf and boogie board, and went down the water-slide countless times. It amazes me how they have both become such strong swimmers over the last year.

Ava brought her frisbee, which she will throw as many times as someone (Tyler) will catch it and throw it back to her.

Lilly has it in her mind that she is a model. Who taught her to pose like this?

Or this?

Ava had all sorts of questions about volcanoes, so we drove out to the lava field.

And last, but not least, the boogie boarding. Lilly bailed right after I snapped this picture, and refused to get back on.
