The Quinn Family: Aloha!

Last May, we took Jadeyn to the beach for the first time...in Hawaii! Here's our week long vacation in pictures. It was awesome! Enjoy!

Getting ready for the beach already

First plane ride. She did fine once the benadryl kicked in : )

These life jackets are a little top heavy!

In the backyard of our beach house

Jimmy finding a treasure buried in the garden

beaching it with a yummy lunch

decided to trade in mom's sunglasses for a pair of her own

First time to experience sand. I think she likes it!?

Since we're not surfers, boogie boarding is the next best thing

And first time in the ocean. The noise was a bit scary, but no tears! We didn't venture in the water much though

She enjoyed getting her tan on more : )

Mommy did too

Jadeyn's favorite part of the trip? Being NAKED! She was pretty much diaper-less anytime we were at the house.

AHHH! Gorgeous! Our view from the living room

The hot tub was perfect day or night

Settler's is always a fun way to break up the day! Especially with the sound of waves crashing

LOVE this girl! At Waikiki Beach

Uncle Waffles sharing his "puka dog" ~ YUM!

JR learning to surf at Waikiki

loves chasing the birds

A wonderful all-you-can-eat seafood dinner after a long beach day. J loved the crab legs!

My mom spotted this seal right outside our backyard one early morning. It woke up and hurried itself back to the ocean.

Seriously. Gorgeous.

Snorkeling at Shark's Cove on the North Shore. Jadeyn opted to stay in the sand.

We were at a luau and lo and behold, I look over and Jadeyn spotted a broom. How she saw it, I have no idea, but once seen, she had to clean! Ha!

Gah, is she not the cutest thing?

I love you, Jimmy!

Getting down with the "hula"

Love you, Bop-Bop!

"Hi fish"

And love you too, Mimi! (I'm in love with this picture! So funny to me)

Hang loose friends, I'm a natural surfer

Um, the BEST hot dog I've ever had. PukaDog, come to Oklahoma!

The WORLD'S largest maze (Dole Plantation)! I completed it (by cheating), Erik got bored and walked out, Jr and Jimmy didn't cheat, but also didn't finish and the guards had to go in and get them out. Ha!

Got bored of the birds, now she's chasing cats during dinner.

At Waiamea Bay, the waves were crazy big. Erik and my dad both jumped off that big rock! I couldn't tell them the reason I didn't jump was because I was pregnant! Not sure I would have jumped anyway, but...

The surfboard Jimmy found at the beginning of this post? Well, on the last day, my dad attempted to surf it. There was a reason that board was hidden in the garden.
