before hawaii, i definitely liked using instagram. but by the end we were in a full on, committed relationship. now i am in LOVE with instagram. it very deservedly won the best iphone app award of 2011 too. and it also made me more addicted to my phone, which i didn't think was possible. not only are ho hum iphone pics turned into super cool looking photos, but i love using it as a mini social network with close friends! it's the crack of iphone apps, my drug of choice.
driving up to our hotel. we made it!
it was so warm and inviting!

oh and the ice cream must be pink.

oh my gosh this is the look of a tired mother on an airplane with her children.
just keepin' it real folks.
she really loved chewing on the rubbery end of this toothbrush. it was a little suction cup. so i made sure to take it on the plane with us and seriously it kept her happy for more than an hour.
she had been asking to go to preschool the last few days in hawaii,
so she was very excited to be home!
thanks uncle richard for keeping us company! aloha for reals this time.
