Hawaii - random pix

Here are a bunch of random pix from our trip. We took the kids to the zoo, aquarium- which was a big hit!-, took in a lot of local sites along Waikiki, ate at some great restaurants, and the boys took in a day of fishing.

At the zoo. For some reason, the turtles were a big hit with Aria and good thing. I've been to lots of zoos and don't recall a zoo with more turtles than Honolulu's.


Aria and Quincy


Aria's face is priceless here. This is at the aquarium.


A kiss for the seal.


We happened to be in Hawaii during the Chinese New Year. They had a dragon and a bunch of drummers going from business to business blessing them. Aria was not impressed. This is were she hid while the restaurant we were eating at was being blessed!


The guys took in a day long fishing trip and I think it's pretty safe to say this was their highlight. This pic was taken at sunset. That is a Coast Guard ship.


A successful day for them! They caught about 30 fish; this was the biggest one they caught and a replica of it will be gracing our walls in a few months.


A decent family portrait. These trees are for real! The bark peels off to reveal the colors underneath. It's a sort of eucalyptus tree.


Cooling off in the water.


The token Hawaii surfer-chic shot!


Aria was picking these everywhere we went. They are very pretty and abundant!


Our traveling party. Thanks to Chad, Davilyn, and Quincy for a wonderfully memorable trip!


Well, I guess that is about it for the highlights. Hope you enjoyed the pix and maybe it warmed you up a bit while looking (-20 for a high tomorrow!).
