Hawaii was fabulous!!

View from our room - waking up to the sounds of the waves rolling was lovely :)

 Someone spent a lot of time napping :) and she is now absolutely, unequivocably, totally, completely rejecting the pacifier.  When she can she sucks on her fists, but otherwise very little drama.  I guess life is manageable without them. 

 We were in Hawaii with a group from Kurt's work - some of them were pulled onstage during the Luau to Hula - glad it wasn't me!

 Oh the food.  Heavenly delicious yummy food.  I put on a few pounds.  It was all too good to resist. 

 Sophie was the most adored in our group - here she is with some of her babysitters.

 The beach was, well, not so fabulous.  All the rocks and wild waves and migrating jelly fish - we stuck to the lagoon and pool. 

 Here is a shot of the lagoon - basically a salt water swimming pool with sand.  While Kurt was off doing meetings and activities Sophie and I spent a lot of time hanging out here. 

 I managed to convince Sophie she could nap on a beach chair so we (me really) didn't have to spend all our time in the room. 

 Luckily Kurt was able to hand out with us sometimes - we would take turns holding Sophie and swimming (or going down the water slide).

 Sophie ended up with a bit of a sunburn so I tried used a hat as a shield the next couple days. 

 I did get a pedicure while I was there - imagine getting your toenails painted and NOT having kids to step on them and ruin them.  Loved the hammocks :)

 Walking around the resort.

  Napping again :)

 Beautiful scenery :)

We had lovely time, but it is wonderful to be home as a family again :)
