Hawaii Pictures

Rather than bore everyone with the details, I'll just post some pictures! :)

The flight attendant gave Ella wings after her first flight: Minneapolis to Chicago. She had no problems flying and was making friends left and right.

This is the 777 we took to Hawaii. A proud moment for Loran.

Here we are at a great seafood restaurant: Sam Choy's Breakfast Lunch Crab Aloha Brewery. That's the whole name! Ella slept through the whole thing. We were seated in the back of a boat that was in the restaurant!

Ella and Auntie Chelsey at sunset on Waikiki.

Goofing around with Grandpa Brad.

Surf's up! Checking out a great surfing beach on the north shore. We saw surfers and sea turtle heads popping up!

First swim with Dad. Ella was not a fan. But, the water was REALLY cold! Colder than the ocean.

Rescued and toweled off by mom! Much warmer!

The beach bum. Ella sleeps in her travel bed, covered with a sheet while we all take turns snorkeling. She didn't get any sunburn!

The lei that Loran bought for Ella in Chinatown.

The lei was passed onto Chelsey upon her arrival, Ella got to wear a flower from it, island style!

Generally cute picture.

Ella in her bikini! The trip was built around this moment...

The end...hehehe!

(get it, the end?)
