Hawaii - Part 1

i honestly cannot believe that is has already been a month since we left for a hawaii. well...a couple days shy of a month. uhhhhh (sigh of irritation) does life have to fly by so fast?!?

it was a bitter sweet vacation for a couple of reasons...#1 we are moving & don't know the next time we will be able to vacation with our AMAZING friends and #2 a piece of our friend puzzle was missing!

now, let's be honest. we were not the best picturing taking bunch in the beginning of the week. so, with that said there will be holes in this trip.

everyone getting ready to fly -
lindsey, laney, justin, kristen & danny
we took up an entire row - window to window!
laney did such a good job on the airplane!



during take off!
hands up!! Weeeee!!!
so excited!

our first day there we hung at the beach & soaked in some hawaiian sun.
on the way back laney asked "mom, i wanna a snack!"
i just couldn't resist this adorable picture of her devouring her hot dog full of mustard!
so i dragged the group to this restaurant that i have had an INCREDIBLE artichoke at...i mean if you like artichokes there is NOTHING. i mean NOTHING like it.
we sit down, waiter comes over & i said "we will start with two artichokes!"
waiter - "i'm sorry we are out of artichokes this evening!"
SERIOUSLY?!?


we rented a car on a couple days so we could see more of the island!
poor linds & justin were sandwiched in the way back between lane's carseat!


lindsey's client told her about this "famous" shrimp stand on the side of the road. the lady said "it's an old van, all marked up with writing!"
Linds spotted the van. we turned around to try the shrimp...

us waiting to try the shrimp.
then we hit the road again & quickly saw about 10-15 more tagged up shrimp vans!
whatever we ate was good...so we will just say it's the one her client recommended!

justin taking a refreshing dip!

ah shaved ice time! yummy!


i so didn't get one of justin eating his! hopefully on kristen or lindsey's camera! :)

anxious for more? i will do my best to get some more up tomorrow!

Yay, so fun to see your pics! I REALLY need to have justin put ours on our home computer for me. I love the picture of Laney on the plane. She looks so big. I wish we weren't so terrible about pictures the first two days. oh well.

That picture of Laney on the plane is the cutest! Don't worry about the first couple of days without pics, sometimes it's nice to just enjoy your time without the camera! Glad you had fun!

Megs, I want that picture of you and Jason. When I dragged it to iPhoto, it was all fuzzy. May I have one sent to me that isn't all koo-koo, please. <3
