Aloha!

We have returned from our wonderful vacation in Hawaii. The weather was beautiful and allowed us to enjoy the beach and the pool everyday. Aidan was old enough this year to truly enjoy the ocean and everything that was going on. We got plenty of rest and relaxation which was much needed. If only Spring Break came more than once a year.
View from our hotel room in Princeville
For some reason Aidan loved having Darren blow water right into face from the swim noodle. This went on for some time before Darren ran out of breath.
Aidan's shocked expression after feeling the cold water that was coming down a mountain stream into the ocean.
Darren with Aidan and Ryan (Darren's friend from MN) with Carter in backpacks going for a hike.
Aidan enjoying the lei making class at the hotel
Aidan modeling his lei (which he wore sash-style). He jumped up on the stage and yelled "Welcome to Spring Break".

At the luau, Aidan getting ready to taste poi.
After poi
Aidan is a ukulele master. He wanted to play every one he saw in the stores. We finally bought him one as a souvenir. His performance videos will be posted soon.Aidan's favorite hotel feature was the automatic footwasher. He hopped on as soon as he had one grain of sand on his toes.
