Black Sand Beach

One of my favorite photo ops of the trip was the black sand beach. I had to be convinced to go because it was a really long drive on windy roads, but it was absolutely beautiful.

Aloha!

In part 1 of our Hawaiian blogging, Owen loved the shuffleboard court that was outside our house. He crowned himself scorer and would shout out the numbers from the side of the court.
Tuesday we went to a luau and had a feast and entertainment. Owen, as always, was attached at the hip to Uncle Mitchell who we now call the baby whisperer because Henry loves him too. Speaking of Henry, we think he has a future in Hula because he absolutely loved the show. He was cheering and dancing the whole time. He particularly like the cowboy number. He went nuts. It was if he was saying.."I want a hat vest and chaps!!!"....hmmmm, curious.

A long trip

The trip to Hawaii was brutal. 18 hours start to finish,Henry had fun at the airports, but not so much fun on the really long flights. We got there just in time for a Hawaiian sunset and Owen broke in the hammock first thing the next morning. A few days removed from the flight, I can say it was worth it.

Colonial Weapons

It should be no surprise that the highlight of my 3 year old sons trip to Williamsburg was the guns. I am a peaceful gun control type and I must say I was a bit put off by his love of the weaponry. It must be in that male blood. Anyway, you can see that he loved putting me in the stocks and running through the maze, but when the man in the saddlery let him hold his real gun, he was delighted. To up the machismo level I have added a pic of the fake tattoo he got on the way home at South of the Border.
