Every once in a while, school has it's perks! As part of Britton's research, he was invited to a conference in Hawaii! WOW!!! We spent about a week on Oahu and then my parents let us use their time share to spend another week on Hawaii. We had So much fun! Britton got pretty burnt once he had some time in the sun (I told him everyone burns in Hawaii, but he didn't listen) and spent the rest of the time wearing a shirt when he snorkeled and swam in the sun. But we still had a really great time. We saw tons of sea turtles and got to see a black sand beach. The volcano was closed since it was being kinda active at the time, but we had a nice little tour around the Island and hiked out (more like took a leisurely walk) to Akaka Falls which was beautiful! Our hotel had a little lagoon and they put on dolphin shows every once ina while. We were fortunate enough to go to one and Lexi aquired "Kai" after the show... her new favorite stuffed animal to sleep with. While on Oahu, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a little bit and had a great time! Lexi did the Keiki dance up on the stage, and we got to see the Samoans and eat at the Luau. All in all, a wonderful time... we all came back tan and happy. :)
