A few more pics of our great time in Hawaii!

First and foremost — a shout out to Megan.  The girl who made everything happen!  The girl who made our stay what everyone is considering their favorite trip EVER!

Bella is always a huge help with my kids.  Mostly because she loves and adores them to the bone, but she would constantly take them to the potty, help bathe them, listen for them as Micah and I would do something when they were asleep, and let them play with her phone or watch movies on her computer.  Shout out Bella!  Nnow have kids so ours can be best friends!

Spencer was the frog catching king!  One night he came in to our room and showed us his catch.  Everyone thought it was awesome — especially Scout and Icka.

Bella was even hoping that this would be the last frog she kisses.  Or more likely — that this frog would turn into a prince!

Apparently the frog got spooked, and left a little treasure on our floor.  That little treasure led to one mad little girl, and to this day, Icka says she loves all of her cousins “except Spencer”.  When I ask her why, she tells about the frog poop he put on our floor.  The best was when she actually said in her prayer, “I love (then named about seven of her cousins by name), but I don’t love Spencer!”  Unfortunately I laughed a little in that prayer.

Dad and kids — notice the matching suits Micah and Scout have.  that was Micah’s Father’s Day gift this year.  And Scout was so cute when every morning, he would see what his dad was wearing so that he could coordinate his outfit to match.

We went to some tide pools, and got a glimpse of a mama turtle and her baby.

The trek there was decently long, and poor Scout was wiped.  Little did we know that he had a fever, and was sick for about 24 hours.  Poor guy!  Especially poor when I said, “No Scout, I can’t hold you….you are a big boy, and big boys walk!”

And stop for potty breaks!

But we finally picked up on him not feeling well, and finished him off with a ride back to the hotel.
In the end, Hawaii was THE BEST!  Partly because where we stayed, partly because we left every worry behind, but mostly because we were all together as a family!
