The kids practicing paddle boarding before they took to the water. I unceremoniously dumped the paddle board shortly after once Anna and I took it into the water. Anna decided it was safer for her to do the paddling and for me to do the sitting!
Julia testing out the water. Even after all of her beach experience, she's only a fan of the shallows and was never interested in going much deeper.

After a long day of surfing, the kids were happy to chill out in PJs and watch a movie.
Jonah and Julia trying their hand at making poi.
A secret moment between sisters.
They were supposed to be henna tattoos for the kids, but somehow they ended up being done with washable markers instead. Anna and Julia got flowers, Noah got a surfboard and Jonah got a cool design.

After sometime at the luau, Jonah became more interested in the colorful flameless candle than the luau itself.
Although Julia never wanted to swim with it, she loved to try out her snorkel.
Chip and Dale were just roaming around the resort.
Julia got her finger stuck in a hole in the dinning table after a game of peekaboo with her fingers. We had a momentary panic that we wouldn't be able to get it unstuck, but after a little bit of ice and mayo we were able to free it. Minnie was so concerned once she heard of Julia's scare, that she sent her a special "feel better" dessert.
It had originally been planned for spring break of 2015, but none of us control how life unfolds, and so instead it was New Years 2016. We took the kids to Disney Aulani in O'ahu Hawaii and made fantastic memories and had a wonderful time! The weather was everything a Chicagoan could ask for in early January, the beaches were beautiful and our time was sweet. Although it was a delayed trip, my heart bursts with joy from the time we had together as a family during this trip.
