Aloha!

Since Mommy is on sabbatical, the girls' went on a second vacation to Hawaii.  A car service picked the girls up from the airport.  Katelyn and Bella were each greeted with a lei.



We stayed at Hilton Hawaiian Village again.  It's convenient with the beach next to the hotel property.



The girls wanted to hit the beach when they arrived.


Bella liked putting sand into her bucket.  She dug a hole for herself to sit in.


There was a design your own flip flops stand at the hotel.  Katelyn asked every day if she could make one.  Finally Mommy gave in.  She picked out a lavender sandal.  There were many decorations that she could choose to put on her shoe.


This is what she designed.


The shoe didn't come in Bella's size, but of course she wanted to do what her older sister was doing.   Mommy said Bella could design a shoe, but she needed to wait until she was older to wear it.  She said, OK!


We had a nice dinner at Roy's one evening.  The girls loved the butterfish.


Daddy rented a car for a few days, so we could go into town to get some of the local treats.  We picked up some poke and malassadas and ate them on the balcony of our hotel overlooking the view of the beach.



The weather was in the 90's and luckily no rain during this trip.  The girls cooled off with some shaved ice.


Daddy drove to Kailua beach.  Katelyn got her float and wanted to immediately go into the water.  If she had it her way, she would love to be in the water the whole day.  She especially loves swimming pools.


Family selfie!


The girls experienced their first luau.  The hotel had a luau each evening on the roof top of the hotel.  Before the performance started, the dancers let the audience try the shakers and made flower wrist leis for the guests to wear.


After the show, the hula dancers stayed for photo opportunities.


Bella was excited to take a picture with one of the fire dancers.


We got a souvenir picture to remember our trip by.  Until next time...Hawaii!
