Trip to Hawaii

Toni and Andre were taking their vacation in the New York City area and didn't think the girls would particularly like the lonnng flights to and back and all the running around, so they as Gary and I to come to Hawaii and babysit the kids. We did and we had a fun time hanging out with the girls.

Livie has some Sponge Bob jammies and Elena loved them and wore them any way she could.

The girls would go swimming but Elena would mostly play in the rocks in the flower boxes around the pool

Gary caught a couple of beautiful pictures of the sunset

One evening he caught this picture of Honolulu, across the ocean when the sun was going

down. It was a pretty awesome sight. The buildings looked they they were gold.

This was fun seeing geckos on their wall. Something we wouldn't see here in Utah

Gary had been doing some stuff on the computer and when I went in to ask him something this is how I found him--fast asleep. Couldn't resist taking the picture.

We had the thrill of having Daniel and Cameron come from Georgia to spend a couple of weeks with us. It was fun having them here. They are such cuties. I had to work in the afternoons but Jamie, Alex, Zach, and Ginger helped to keep them occupied. I didn't get many pictures of them doing their activities because I wasn't there, but here are a few I got of them just doing what they do best.

I had told Daniel that we needed to wash his hands. The next thing I knew he was washing his hands. His little ribs are holding him up. Too funny!
