Having a Great Time in Hawaii

Yesterday afternoon Alyssa found some confetti in the cupboard, and she scattered it all around the deck. Some of it was stars and moons, but most of it was palm trees and star fish. She ran into the living room, telling me that I just had to "come to Hawaii." I went out on the deck to find confetti everywhere, and two kids having a great time. We hula-ed and "Woo-hoo!"-ed a bit, and that concluded my first trip to Hawaii. Alyssa stayed there on an extended vacation yesterday afternoon, and she's back there now, enjoying her breakfast in the sunshine.

Here's Ethan enjoying the waves. He likes to jump in the water with all his clothes on, but then he avoids the pool when he's in his swimsuit.
