HAWAII

We spent a nice, relaxing week in Maui... or at least as relaxing as it could be with an almost 4 year old and a 4 month old. We ended up sleeping all 4 of us in a king sized bed most nights (not so relaxing) but spent our days at the pool or the ocean (much more relaxing)

The big climber. She has been so into climbing trees lately.

Juli is a monkey, too. Monkey see, monkey do. With a little bit of help she made it all the way to the top.

And sitting in the back seat.

Benjamin loved the water and his little floaty.

Josie was a fish. We couldn't get her out of the pool.

The time in the pool paid off. On our second day we started having her swim from one of us to the other. Within a half an hour she started swimming all on her own!!

I told her that by the end of the vacation I wanted her to be able to swim the width of the pool. Later, on the second day she was swimming the LENGTH of the pool. Way to go, Josie!!

The winds picked up late every afternoon but it was still nice and warm.

There isn't much to do with a baby at the beach but Benjamin was a trooper. He even got his feet in the ocean for the first time. He loved it.
