Our Annual Trip to Hawaii...October 28 - November 4, 2011

Kaetlyn's Thoughts
Ohhhh, Hawaii...how FUN you are!  We had the BEST time on our trip to Hawaii this year.  I got to swim, swim, swim and play in the sand on the beach. 

The trip started with me flying on a plane...on both the trip there and on the way home, I got my VERY OWN seat on the plane!  I was so good on the plane.  There were lots of passengers who told Mommy and Daddy so.  And lots of people thought my "ride" through the airport was super cool.  Unfortunately, Mommy is NOT super cool, as she did not get a picture, but just imagine cute-little-ole' me in my carseat with WHEELS attached, ridin' in style through the airport.  It was fantastic, I tell you!

While we were in Hawaii, we took walks every day and the early morning sun was fantastic!

I spent most every day at the pool, swimming, playing in the "beach" pool and, of course napping by the pool.  I'm here to tell you, swimming is EXHAUSTING...

My favorite things about the pool and swimming are:


Playing the 1-2-3 game and flying through the air...



Going underwater!  Who knew it was this much fun?!

Swimming with my parents...

Walking around the 1' deep ledge that runs around the pool!

Playing in the "kiddie" end ... they have fountains that are REALLY fun to sit on!

Hanging out with Mommy and Baby Sister Grace during snack time (I LOOOVE snack time!)

Relaxing in a lounge chair...

Wrapping up in a warm beach towel when I got out of the water!

I am also a big fan of sand, playing in sand, and the ocean in general.  I didn't get to spend as much time on the beach as I wanted because Gracie isn't allowed on the beach yet...but next year, you betcha I'm gonna be a beach babe!

Grace's Perspective

I rode on a plane!  I rode on a plane...and I was SOOOOO good.  Riding on planes is actually really easy.  Here's what you do:
Step 1:  Sit on your Mommy's Lap
Step 2:  Sleep

That's all there is to it! :)

We went to this place called Hawaii and it was really nice.  I got to sleep in lots of interesting places...

On my Gramma Ward at the pool...

And on my Uncles and Gramma in the room :)

We celebrated my first Halloween on this trip as well.  Big Sister Kaet and I went as twins!

I got to go out to dinner with my family...

Daddy helping Gracie with "ears" at dinner...

And I did some tummy time...

I was also VERY smiley during this trip.  Who wouldn't be in Hawaii?!

This place is SO FUN!  I can't wait to come back next year!
