Hawaii - Part 1

We have been in Hawaii, North Shore Oahu - our old BYU-H stomping grounds - for the last 5 days. We are here until Tuesday, and can't believe our vacation is already almost over!! This has been Scarlett's first big vacation and our first vacation together as JUST our little family. Those of you who talked with me before I left knew how nervous I was about the long flight and the 3 hour time change (especially since Scarlett just started sleeping all through the night).  Well it turns out that my worries were ridiculous because I forgot I had the absolute best baby in the world!  She slept and ate and played on the flight and was so happy!  And the first night we got here she just woke up once to nurse and has been on her regular schedule ever since.  She has been in heaven this whole trip with so much to do...And she has gotten so attached to Doug while we have been here and is so thrilled she gets to play with him all the time...I don't know what she is going to do when he has to go back to work. Our vacation thus far has been filled with 6:30 am bike rides (when S wakes up), playing the ocean, playing/eating the sand, walks, soccer games, and evening bike rides to watch the sunset. We are all having the time of our lives!

She watched the waves very nervously at first...took her a while to warm up to them

Happy Halloween!

We spent Halloween in Hawaii, but luckily before we left there were plenty of festivities for us to dress up and party at!

I think they call this "tampering with evidence..."
