Maui!!!

K for all of those who don't know... I got back from hawaii a couple days ago!!!! It was so much fun! It was great to see Nat Dan Addie and Jakey. Both Jakey and Addie have gotten so big! Addie is as cute as ever (A highlight of the trip was hanging out with her on baby beach!). Jakey is the cutest little baby. always smiling! Aren't they the cutest family ever!


We went to a bunch of different beaches, saw some hula dancers, went snorking and parasailing, and drank about fifty of Nat's amazing smoothies! seriously she makes the greatest smoothies ever!

The first couple days Jilly and Alno were with us. They went on a snorkle cruise with me and mitch. The next day we all went Parasailing!!! It was a Blast!!! Thanks nat for setting all the fun activities up!





Addie loved all the candy that mitch brought with him. Especially the fun dip as you can all see by her green tongue!
She was always playing in the sand when we went to the beach! she didn't get in the water except for at baby beach. But she is a great sand castle maker:)



Me Jilly and Alno went on this hike down the valcano crater... Man the hike back up was really tough... but it was really cool.

Me hiking bake up the volcano... I stopped about ever ten feet it felt like ha ha it was good because it was the only time a worked out while I was over there ha ha ha (photography by Jill)

This is me and mitch on the first day ( I think). We went to the site dan is workin on. The house is going to be incredible when it is done. and then they have this view... Man how would it be to be rich!


The Sibs!! This is probably the first vacation in the history of vacations were it was only the siblings. Usually the parents go but this time it was just us. It was kinda weird not to have mom and dad there with us. You guys were missed!

We went to this place That was sooo pretty!! I think it was called Ioa Valley... They had some really cool trees!

Me Jill and Addie!!!



We found some trees that were "Addie Size." she loved them. She was so happy!


Pretty!!!!!!I love Hawaii!!! It was beautiful!



Me and Addie playing at Baby beach! she loved it! The waves were pretty much non existant but every once in a while you could feel one. she liked the "big ones." It was so fun to play with her.


This is my favorite picture of me and addie. You would never know that she didn't want to take this picture at all. there were hula dancers in the park but I wanted a picture so we went and took one. what a good sport!!

I think this picture of me and mitchy parasailing is pretty cool! It was so fun! if I would have been by myself it wouldn't have been as fun!

All around it was a fantastic trip! It was kinda cool because we didn't stay in a hotel. We stayed with nat and dan. I went to nat's ward and learned how to hula from this lady that used to be miss Hawaii or something. It was really fun! Thanks nat and dan for letting us come. And thanks to mom and dad for making it possible:) I want to go back to HAWAII!!!

Hey Manda Panda! I would like to be included on the annual siblings trip if that's OK. I think I can qualify for a sibling.

That's correct Nat... Addie couldn't ask for a better aunt than Jilly!
