Honolulu Vacay!

Autumn had meetings in Honolulu this week, so Kylie and I tagged along for a much needed vacation! Kylie has been growing like a weed and needed a whole new wardrobe before she STARTS PRE-SCHOOL in a few weeks! We had to power shop through a few stores and she actually has to try on the clothes now, which is a whole new level of fun / torture! Besides playing with K at the pool, we spent the week dining out, shopping and stocking up on goodies.

 Cheese!

 Can we swim now?

You know there's a pool at this hotel, right dad?

 !!!

Kylie learned to jump in the pool!

 She never wants to leave.  She will live in the pool!

 It's too sunny!

 K's first real pedicure!

 Trying to be serious, but laughing the whole time!

A Boat! A Boat!! We Have A Boat!!!

It was Eric's birthday this week, and we got a surprise in the mail to celebrate!  Eric's mom and Rich sent us an inflatable boat.  Like a really nice one with ores, and fishing pole holders, and seats, and everything.  We got it all inflated and took it out for a spin on the lagoon this afternoon.  So awesome!

Eric is on a boat!

Me and K?  On a boat!

Floatin' in style!

Naps are better on a boat.

Fun sunglasses are funnier on boat, too.

The color of the water?  Better from a boat.  (No filter here, seriously.)
 

 ROW!

The S.S. Mariner 4!

After all that boating, one needs a swim.

Thank you so much to Cathy and Rich, we love the boat!!
