The day after I promise to post more, I get mastitis.  Lucky, I’m already on the mend.  Having been ordered by my sweet husband to “take it easy,” I figured what could be more easy that sitting on the couch with a sleeping baby and dog and post some Hawaii pictures for you all?

“When will we see the water?” And yes, Miss Flight Attendant, he IS buckled in.  See that seat belt? It’s definitely fastened.  What’s that?  Oh.  He has to be SITTING.  Well, that’s going to be a tad harder…

Our first Hawaiian rainbow!  We thought we were being treated to something special.  Turns out it’s more rare NOT to see a rainbow in Hawaii.  It’s even on their license plates.

Afraid of the waves. (They were pretty big.)

Getting her timing just right.  She’s determined to climb that rock and no wave will scare her off!

Our family!  Most of us are even smiling!  Took many shots to get those smiles, too.
Stay tuned for Part Two, which includes our Hawaiian Easter!
