We are now firmly back in the reality of melting snow, jackets and gloves. What better time to daydream about Hawaii? These are the last of the vacation pics, a little jumbled but all inclusive :)
Maddie napping poolside :) She also napped this way on walks. We tried to be very careful to keep her protected from the sun the entire time. She always had a hat (except for a few one minute photo shoots), and ALWAYS ALWAYS had sunscreen. Actually we all did which is why we didn't burn :) or tan :(
Somebody is up chilling poolside, about to go for a dip!
A little snack out on the lanai. We ate all of our meals outside, and it was wonderful!
Strolling through town on our way to a yummy lunch.
Nose kisses at lunch.
There was fish feeding every morning at the resort, and it was a big big hit! We went many many times.
Chloe was even able to touch the fish!
Lazy morning....at 5 am. Yes every single day the girls woke up between 5 and 5:30 am. Chloe would get up and quietly turn the door knob to our room and climb in bed. Not a bad wakeup call.
Who could resist this adorable face!
Maddie hung out in a big play yard out on the Lanai quite a bit. You can see she didn't mind.
We did have a few rainy days, and one of those days we visited the aquarium. It was awesome!
Maddie loved the fish!
Chloe loved the sharks. "Look a scary shark!" If you cant tell she is running back and forth across the huge expanse of glass pointing them out.
Chloe got to go to the gift store at the end to pick out something to take home....We caved and let her pick two. She named them right away: Here is Cutter.
This is Allen; re-named Syrup Allen. No one can say she isn't creative!
A few bonus pics of Maddie being her silly self.
Mmm pineapple core is also a baby chew toy. We cut the fibrous core into strips and popped it into the freezer for later use. Full disclosure: the original idea was swizzle sticks for our Mai Tai's, but that only happened once since the pineapple were much more popular with Maddie and Chloe. Chloe did use it as a swizzle stick for her POG :)
And this was our last day. It was more than raining....it was what I imagine being in a hurricane might be like.
On the bright side it is much easier to leave paradise when it doesn't much resemble paradise. I can say it is really nice to be home. We are moving in less than 2 weeks, and boxing up all the stuff has actually been fun! We are very excited to get into our new space! The house is bigger and much more modern in architecture than what we are in now (which isn't a huge stretch). I can't believe it, but we have actually been in our house for 7 years now! It all started with a two year plan.......now I am an Alaskan, and loving it.
Before I know it I will be posting pics of the move! So exciting!!!

Love the photos!! Looks like you all had such a good time. Maddie's eyes look so blue in the pineapple picture.
Such a lovely looking trip. I didn't know you took Maddie's cloth, how did it go on the trip? Hope we can chat soon!
