aloha!

We are in Hawaii.

I know, I know. It’s a tough life.

We’re actually here for a work conference.

But like any clever family would do, we came four days early so we could have some fun and free time.

And fun and free time we’ve been having… with some amazing family and friends.

There has been unbelievable beauty.

There has been ice cream.

There has been sand. Plenty.

There has been swimming. And wave jumping.

There has been splashing. And posing. And a whole lot of smiling.

There has been screaming with delight.

There has been dolphin sightings and aqua blue lagoons.

There has been sunshine. And palm trees. And green, green grass.

There has been naps in the shade.

There has been fine dining.

There has been new friends. (Beautiful new friends.)

There has been lots of time to play.

There has been double the fun. And a bit hand-holding.

There has been freedom to go au natural.

There has been play time with the big kids.

There has been many sleeps on-the-go.

There has been numerous attempts at a family photo.

There has been lots of precious moments with people we love.

And there has been one very happy family.

Dear friends, how's that for a photo dump? All I can say here is… I hope you get one of these soon too. Cuz this is really, really good.

working at not working,


p.s. I'm actually in Oregon now... but when I started writing this I was still in Hawaii. Anyway, there you go. It was such a good vacation that I just had no time to be online. Or something like that. :)
