Hana.

So this is what happens when you have a soon-to-be 6 month old, fun aunts, and a 6+ hour plane ride to Hawaii :0)....

For my family's vacation this year we decided to go visit some family (My Aunt Nilda, my cousin Don and Christine and her daughters) in Hawaii. More specifically, Hana...a little but BEAUTIFUL place on the island of Maui.

My sweeties. Bry giving Brie a bottle after church.

Brie with my cousin Christine's daugthers...Justine, Janeil and Jazmine. Looks like Brie needs some serious sun ;0)

I think one of the highlights of the trip for Bry was boogie boarding with the family. He got some good waves...it was fun to watch him having such a good time!

Brie getting up from a nap on the beach (in her Peapod--thanks to Alan, Liz and Lilli for letting us use it!). Falling asleep to the sound of waves, does it get much better than that? :0)

On a little morning stroll. Poor Brie's sleeping schedule was SO off due to the 4 hour time change. The first night she went to bed MUCH later than normal, was up 3 times in the middle of the night and was bright-eyed and bushy tailed at 5:30 the next morning! Needless to say that the three of us decided to take some morning walks while we were there. But hey...it was so beautiful that early in the morning and we wouldn't have been up to enjoy it otherwise.

We really had an awesome, fun and relaxing time together! I think some of my highlights from the trip were spending time at the different beaches, seeing Brie reach new milestones (my next post will be about her pushup-tiptoe-bellyflop crawl :0)) having authentic filipino food made by my Aunt Nilda, playing games, watching some fun movies that my mom brought along ("The Legend of Johnny Lingo" and "The Other Side of Heaven"), attending a Hawaiian Luau/graduation dinner celebration, doing a photoshoot of Christine and her girls, enjoying all of the beautiful landscape and just spending time with my family!!!
