Leading up to our recent trip to Hawaii, we had the boys practice their Hawaiian words: aloha, mahalo, Honolulu, Waikiki, etc. I don't think they had any idea what the point of this practice was -- for them it was an opportunity to get away with goofy babbling (and they still crack up every time we put on Hawaiian music).

But man, did they have fun once they got there. Poppy and Pansy were responsible for loading up eleven (11!) Teagues and firing us all the way across the world. It was the boys' first non-baby plane action, and by far the longest stretch of travel and time zone adjustment they've ever dealt with. But they were great! And Silas's "awoha" was a sure-fire hit wherever he said it.

It was a fantastic vacation -- I can't imagine photos properly showing how completely relaxed and removed from the world we were. But settle in anyway for another two week stretch of Pictures of the Day. Between all the cameras, I'm pretty sure we've got every last second documented (and from multiple angles!).
