More October...only 2 months behind

 Here's the last of Hawaii.  For one of my favorite aunts, here's what each person's favorite thing was and they don't really all go with the pictures, sorry.
 Kenna said her favorite thing was the surfing and I do think she liked it, mostly because it was so easy for her.  I would say her favorite thing was the pool at the condo.  She begged to go swimming every day, and pretty much did swim every day.  This is a cute little girl she met, who always watched the pool for Kenna.
 Chase said his favorite thing was relaxing and playing in the waves.   He would just go all boneless and let the waves wash him around.  To be honest, it kind-of scared me, but he loved it.
 Connor said his favorite thing was the food, which is pretty much his favorite thing all the time.  This juice is called POG.   We went through 6 gallons in a week.  Con loved the fresh fruit, especially the pineapple.  He also loved a local joint called Da Kitchen.  They served the pork and rice.  I think he also loved body surfing.
 I had a hard time picking one favorite.  I'm with Kate, but I really loved all the flowers and the snorkeling.  Mike and I got to swim with a sea turtle and it was so cool.
 Mike also said that snorkeling was his favorite.  He was by far the most adventurous of us all. I admit I was a little scared every time before we got in, but after we started, I was fine.
 Kate loved it all.  She wouldn't pick one favorite.  She looks at the photo book I made all the time and hopes we can go back.
                        Here are our fabulous pumpkins.


 We got a bit of a late start on costumes this year.  Kate is supposed to look like a grandma carrying a baby on her back.  It was pretty cool.
 Kenna is taking these cheerleading lessons, so when she found this in the dress-up box, that's what she wanted to be.  Go Miners!

Great memories all around. Connor is getting so grown up. And Kate is getting so young she has to be packed around by some old arthritic lady! Cute costumes!

LOVE hearing everyones favorite!
I think the only surprise is Chase being jello in the waves. although I DO understand the appeal.
Thank you for sharing!
I think it is so cute that Kate likes to look through the book you did (bully for you btw in getting that done!).

It really sounds like it was a great memorable experience for everybody. No meltdowns, no overnights at an airport.....I'm so glad you guys were able to go.
I know it took a lot of planning and saving from other things, but hopefully everyone thought it was worth it.

Now, pumpkins.... what are the strings in Chase's? I've never seen that before. Kinda cool!

Hope I get to see the Hawaii picture book this summer??
