Pretty much until halfway through the trip Benson could not for the life of him say "Hawaii"--he would try and try, but it would always come out "Hawadi". It was one of those words that was so cute coming out of his mouth that I hesitated to correct him--oh how I miss "Hawadi", in every way possible!
We went to Oahu and stayed at the Hale Koa on Waikiki for 7 days. It was incredible! Ryan's little brother CJ was able to join us for part of the trip and we were so glad he did! He is a helicopter pilot in the Navy and he is stationed in Japan right now--we haven't seen him in a year and a half! It was really great for them to be able to see eachother before Ryan leaves for his deployment--and yes, they managed to get at least one surf in every day!
Other than surfing, we also did many other things: the North Shore a couple days, the Polynesian Cultural Center, Hanauma Bay snorkeling, beach, pool, pool, pool, Lanikea (the turtle beach), BYU Hawaii, Hawaii Temple... We can't WAIT to go back!
I won't torture you with my whole album in one blog, but if you want to see more you can go to my facebook. Here are a few highlights:

So beautiful! Why does Benson all of a sudden look so old?? I know I haven't seen you in 7 months, but still. He should not be able to grow up that fast!
