Vacation in Hawaii

We enjoyed a wonderful week in Hawaii, including a special Thanksgiving with Phil's family.

Kailey had a ton of fun on her first vacation in Hawaii. She loved swimming in the pools, playing with her cousins and getting alot of sweet attention from her Grammie & Grandpie.


Ashlyn had the time of her life fishing, swimming in the ocean, feeding the coi fish, drinking juice straight from a coconut and spending quality time with her grandparents and cousins.

Fun with Cousin Joey

Check out this amazing dessert! Between Joey and Ashlyn they demolished this thing! Ashlyn sure loves her "treats".

Our visit to the Natural History Museum

Here we are being Paleontologists excavating dinosaur bones. Both Emily and Ashlyn were pretty fascinated by this and could have spent hours on a dig!

These elefants were in the African Mammal Exhibit. It's hard to tell in this photo, but they were larger than life and exquisite to look at.

We participated in a live dinosaur show. We did not stay the whole time, because this life-like puppet was a bit too scary for Ashlyn.
