The next thing we did was fly to Hawaii! We stayed on the Big Island in Kona. Ryan's grandmother had been a couple years ago and wanted to go back with us. We were more than happy to oblige. It was such a different world there. When you leave the airport, you see mostly black rocks, lava, everywhere. It doesn't look like what one would normally think of when they think of Hawaii. But it was beautiful. There were tons of sandy, amazing beaches with really blue, clear water. Then we drove to the other side of the island which was filled with waterfalls and botanical gardens and rocky cliffs. It really was amazing.
Neither of the kids had spent much time at the beach so it was really fun to watch them get so into the water and the waves. Cooper was jumping all over them and by the end of the trip, as predicted, Olivia would just walk RIGHT into the water. Swimming was not high on her list of priorities however and it escaped her mind that she doesn't actually know how to do that yet!
We will definitely go back there someday. I could write more, but the pictures say it so much better!
