Aloha!

Our summer vacation this year was a family filled trip to Hawaii. We rented a house and filled it with 9 little ones and 10 adults. We were within walking distance to the beach and made several day trips for hikes and snorkeling. We had a GREAT time with all the family and it was wonderful watching all the little cousins reunite and play with one another.

The 1st morning,

still on TX time so we headed to the beach to watch the sunrise:
