It was my parents 20th anniversary this October so they decided to take the whole family to Hawaii for a week together. The week was wonderful. Chris and I and baby made it up to see 3 sunrises this was the first.
The little house they rented. A view from the pool.
swimming with little P way too much fun. He got his first tooth the very first day. Must be all that fresh island air.
At night after dinner we would listen to music, laugh, play games, and catch up with each other.
Aunt Stephanie with Julian
Chris and I were spoiled by getting to stay in the guest cottage. A little house with a kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom. The best part was the pond in the front of it. Each night frogs would serenade us to sleep.
Lots of room to run. boys will be boys Justin running after Stephanie.
One day the guys went golfing.
lots of snorkeling was done too.
In the morning Julian had lots to say to his grandparents.
Watch out Michael Phelps
My brothers and sisters. Marriage brought us together but Love made us family.
As a surprise we had a private luau. Here the musicians and hula dancer sing to the parents.
After a down pour of rain we moved under the deck for a little hula dancing 101
Then we kicked it up a notch... Tribal drummers and a fire dancer.
The night was a thank you to our parents. It was exciting, special, and even a little emotional. I could not have asked for a better night.
Little P's toes in the warm Hawaiian ocean.
Coco Frio for 5 bucks. Someone call the police we were robbed..
Kauai has the most beautiful chickens. Here they finish off the coconut.
All in all it was a perfect week. I had about 200 pictures but these were a few of my favorite. We closed the week with watching the sun fall into the ocean. It may have been the last sunset in Hawaii that week but, we will be back to see another.

Yes! I have been waiting for these. Great pictures! Love them all. Sunset is my favorite for sure. What a special time together with your family.
Yippe, so glad you have found time to upload your pictures. Hopefully I will get to mine soon and will be able to share. Of course the Jenga photo of me made the blog, love it :) Too bad we never got a re-match, I guess I was the only winner! ha ha ha
Looks like so much fun! I can't wait until we can make it out to Hawaii one of these days. We have Australia planned for Fall O9!
It looks like you had a beautiful time. I'm so glad Julian cooperated with all you did! He's such a good baby (and maybe you're both good parents too!)
