Back to reality...But good to be home too!

Well our Hawaii trip is there and gone!  We had a wonderful time!  Here's some documentation of all the fun! 
Dalton got a taste of his first shave ice...

He liked it...Then decided to try Uncle Derek's...Which must be better right?!?

"Yep!  So good I think I'll help myself...."

 

 

Eating out was "interesting" at times.  Actually he did pretty well.  Not to mention he got really good at being cute....  Dalton is talking up a storm lately.  He was a hit with all his "Hi" and "Byes" to anyone around.

There were lots of beach days!  We LOVED those!  (Especially when you have a boogie board leash to chew on!)

And practiced being cute some more...

Went shopping at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.  Of course Dalton just loved being with Nanny! 

Saw the penguins at the hotel...

Played with Daddy and practiced being cute some more!  (while taking advantage of a photo op!)

Went to a favorite beach, Koolina.  Got some love from Uncle Derek and Auntie Candace, whom he loves both sooo much!

 Played with Mommy....

Ate dinner at Shore Bird with Cousin Kenny...

Took some family photos while the sun set on the beach...

 

Went to the North Shore and Haliewa...a favorite place on the island for us. 

Ate DELICIOUS tacos at Cholos....not to mention a great place to have a cold drink!

Spent some time running around in super cool denim diapers...NO, not all of us!  Just Dalton!:)  

Can't wait to go back to Hawaii already....

 

The beauty of being home was that the next day we had a short visit from our dear friends Melissa, Matt and Finn.  A great thing to come back too!  Dalton and Finn were so cute playing together...

Of course Finn loved that his "Auntie" Lici put MOUNDS of tasty treats (aka Baby Crack) in front of him to gooble up.  Check him out double fisting it!

Finnian is ONE CUTE KIDDO!  

They played nicely together...Dalton loved being back home with all his toys and Finn thought they were pretty cool too! 

 "Hurry up Finn!"

"Whatever Dalton!"

The visit was WAY TOO short but we were delighted to see them regardless.  I couldn't get over how funny Finn is!  Love that kiddo too!  Plus it was wonderful to be able to hang out and catch up with Melissa and Matt.  We miss them dearly on the west coast!!!!
