Other than having a stomach bug with endless diarrhea for a week, the boys were beyond excited to go to Hawaii for our good friends Ethan and Randi's wedding. I, on the other hand was freaking out about packing enough diapers and extra clothes for the plane ride and worrying about entertaining Max for 6 hours. We usually fly at night and 6 hours is a long time for a wiggly 2 year old. But despite Max pooping 4 times and Sam twice from Anchorage to Maui (the flight attendant kept spraying air freshener in the bathroom after we left), the boys did great on the plane. They each zoned out to their itouches and took a nap. I was so proud of them. And on top of that, we made it there in our original clothes. Bonus!
Just landed and all smiles
We rented a 3 bedroom condo in Kahana for the week and enjoyed not having a schedule or anything planned (other than a few wedding festivities). It was a great vacation and felt amazing to escape the cold of Fairbanks for awhile.

Early the next morning we went to the beach for the first time and Bo and Sam went wild. They were in heaven and ran and laughed for hours.
Max on the other hand was not so sure. It was his first time ever to the beach and was a little freaked out. The first day he just stayed back and dug in the sand. 
Later that afternoon we went on a three hour snorkeling cruise with the other wedding guests. The weather wasn't great and the water really choppy so we unfortunately did not get to go to the good snorkeling spot but we still had a nice time. They boys even swam with us for a while and Max actually fell asleep while bobbing in the ocean.
