trevor and alisha + three little girls: hawaii 2011

the days in hawaii were a blur of fun in the sun. it wasn't blazing hot, so we were happy that the pools were heated. the past few years we have rented houses in hawaii, so it was fun to be at a resort and talk to people from all over the country. shelby loved making new friends every day. many people were from canada, escaping the cold below freezing weather. and a bunch more were from the bay area just like us! one family that we met had two boys the same age as our girls and they were so excited to hear cora's name, because it is the name they are saving for a girl if they ever have one, and they had never heard anyone else use it! fun! neither of their boys had names from our "maybe if we have a boy" list, that would have been crazy! at honua kai, there was a lazy river, waterfalls, super shallow pools, a slide (which come to think of it, none of us went on) and an awesome kids area with pebbles and a play area, hot tubs, and another more conventional blue pool. most of our time was spent in the kid area.

i give the twilight actors in full makeup a run for their money. but hey, fewer wrinkles someday. hopefully! and i don't care what anyone says, i love my "i'm obviously a mom" hat. :)

look at that wind! while brett, dad, trevor, and mike were golfing, richard and mom were kind enough to hang out with me and the girls at the pool all day.
