Hawaii

Last week we were able to spend a week in Hawaii! Yes, we took our two-year-old on a five and a half hour flight and we actually made it! Portable DVD players are a life-saver. :) We stayed at the beautiful Turtle Bay Resort in Oahu, located right next to BYU-Hawaii and the Polynesian Cultural Center. We went with Eric's grandparents, Papa and Shauna Smith, who invited all of their children and grandchildren with little kids to go on this trip. So there were five families with a total of 14 little kids running around Turtle Bay together. It was a blast!

We spent a lot of time on the beach and at the hotel pool, but we also made it to the Dole Pineapple Factory, the BYU-Hawaii campus, and the Polynesian Cultural Center. We were also able to see my brother, Canton, who is currently attending BYU-Hawaii. He showed us around and even took us to Motsumoto's for some shaved ice. It was an amazing trip and we loved spending time with our family.
