Aloha! Greetings from Hawaii!

Chris and I recently got to go and stay at my parents timeshare type place in Maui, Hawaii.  We had already gone to Hawaii this year for our honeymoon which was amazing but it was nice being able to spend time with my parents as well as the Vaughans (Frank, Cindy, Maddie, Evan, and Frances).  First thing first... a toast to being in Hawaii!!!

Chris and my dad took a walk to the ocean and I gave them the homework assignment of taking a self portrait... This is the picture Chris came back with...

Then he showed me the real one :)  How nice!

One thing I think we all were looking forward to was breakfast!  Not just breakfast but my dad cooking breakfast! 

The meat eaters breakfast...

And the veggie style for me...

So as we were getting ready to eat we were all getting out buns ready.  My dad was still out at the grill finishing a few things up.  We had closed the glass doors cause it was getting a bit warm inside...  BIG MISTAKE!  My dad came walking in with his hands full and didn't see the door was closed.  I guess we were all loud enough that he thought the door was open!  He is such a champ that he didn't even drop anything!!!  So scary!  All he did was cut his nose from his glass of wine breaking, but the meat, and grilled veggies survived!

Next day we all drove to big beach for a day of fun in the sun!

Lots of us!

Aww the moms
