A Nice Big Piece of Paradise....

Last week we got to Get Away and go to Hawaii with my parents and brother, Alan!
It was absolute HEAVEN! We all had such a great time and were not ready to go home at the end of the week, I have been home for 3 days now and can't stop thinking about it. The kids figured out real quick that playing in the sun on the beach is the life and couldn't get enough of it. At the end of the week we told Raegan it was time to go home and she matter of factly told us, "Nope, I want to live in Hawaii!"
She's got the right idea
This Is The Life
Dad, Mom, Brig & Raegan
(I loved seeing their cute, tiny footprints all over the sand)

Raegan LOVED playing in the ocean




This is in front of a Shark Pool at a hotel next to ours. Brig loved this place, it had real hammerhead and blacktip sharks and sting rays. That's Brig's kind of place!


The kids adore my brother, Alan, and he was such a great sport to play with them ALL week long



My Mom and Dad at the beach! They LOVE laying by the pool in the shade, but they were so great to come hang out with us on the beach everyday even in the sun.

Nana and Raegan all snuggled up
There are so many more pictures...which means more posts to come
