Hawaii 2007

Aubrey got to celebrate her third (month) birthday with a trip to Hawaii, to see her cousins and Aunt Angel and Uncle Ryan! This was her first big trip (and a dry run for our move to the Emirates) and we are relieved to discover that she travels really well.


And here it is: The Official First Ride On A Plane Photo




The Picture That Will Earn Us Your Sympathy...NOT!




Where we stayed - The Ko Olina, western shore of O'ahu, near Kapolei, Ewa, etc. Nice place.




In fact, they're still building some of it...




Aubrey's home away from home. $29 at Target. Recommended.




Of course, you haven't been to Hawaii until you've gotten your lei.

Aunt Angel




Grandpa and Aubrey at the pool




Aubrey's first bathing suit and her first time in a swimming pool. She actually liked it...




The latest in beachwear. We discovered on this trip that our daughter does, in fact, possess feet. Thanks to the winter weather in Washington, we were beginning to think she was born with socks on.

OK, now this is a photo that makes a father worry...not until you're 21, dear...




We might as well admit it, we're going to be "those parents". You know, the ones that dress up their kids in all sorts of ridiculous outfits and take pictures of them just because it's that funny.






"Can I get a waiter here? What does it take to order a rum punch in this place??"




"Zzzzzzzzz...."





It was a lovely trip, Aubrey put up with the 13 hour flights extremely well, and we had a lot of much needed fun and warmth.
