Hawaii was wonderful. Jeremy and I escaped from the cold to celebrate our 8th anniversary without the kids. We had a lot of fun. But, mostly it was just nice to be able to relax.
My amazing sister Laura flew in from Washington DC to take on three kids and a dog for the week (with a little help from friends and grandparents at both ends of the week, which means we never got to see her: so sad). They all survived, and we got a special surprise- Ethan could sound our words when we got home! Thanks, Laura.
Here are a few highlights from the trip:
Fern Grotto
This little hula dancer boy was so fun to watch.
At the Polynesian Cultural Center, the Samoan presentation featured a climb to the top of a coconut tree. I don't understand why they need this skill though, since they told us that the ripe coconuts fall to the ground. I guess they do it to collect the leaves.
Poi balls: much more fun than eating poi!
The view from our room. We left the windows open and listened to the waves as we fell asleep.

Happy 8th Anniversary!
If Hawaii is #8...What will #10 be??
Nothing gets better than Hawaii!
I love Hawaii! Congrats on your anniversary. Looks like lots of fun!
Man, that must have been awesome! Looks wonderful!
Oh, lovely pictures!
I was sorry we missed seeing you. :-(
(And I still have no clue why Ethan could suddenly sound out words.)
There is someplace not exactly better, but different than Hawaii that Allison wants to go. I have already convinced her I hate New York, only to surprise her with a trip to New York for Valentines Day this year. There is another place she still believes I deplore... that is where we are going for our 10th.
That looks so fun!
