We just got back from a family vacation to Hawaii. It was perfect! It only rained one morning and we even got to see some whales. We flew into Kauai late Friday night, woke up the next day and just relaxed on the beach. Me being pregnant was super white got burned the first hour. The sun is so hot there. Sunday my skin got a break while we had family home evening (it was stake conference on the island), ate a fabulous Sunday brunch at the Marriott, and saw the "Grand canyon." Monday we laid around again at the beach and hiked to Kipu falls. Tuesday we went to another beach. Wednesday we made our way to Princeville. This is the most beautiful part of the island. It's extremely lush. We went snorkeling and went to Queens bath. Thursday we ran errands in the morning cause of the rain and then laid at the beach in the afternoon. Friday we soaked up the last bit of sun, saw the whales and then flew out that night. Goodbyes are always hard but seeing everyone get on the plane to Utah while we sat and waved to them was sad to say the least. We survived the long 10 hour flight there and back and it was so fun to spend time with family. Mac loved all the attention he got. He preferred Scotty and my dad over both Drew and I, which was a nice break. Thanks mom and dad for the best week.
Went to Princeville....
The boys eating Top ramen. My family loves raw top ramen, since we were little we have ate this as a snack.Queen's bath...
Not too exciting but what else do you do on Sunday?
We Hiked to Kipu falls where the boys and Roo jumped off the waterfall and swung on the rope swing...
It wasn't the easiest hike with two babies, a very large pregnant belly, and a nonexistent trail.
Mac very rarely left my Dad's sideWe played on the beach....

That looks like you had a blast! I'm glad you got to go (being pregnant and riding a plane and all). Don't apologize for the pics... I love looking at pictures!!
I was wondering how you got so tan when I saw you at church this last week! I didn't know you went to Hawaii--I think that means we haven't been seeing each other as much as we'd like to so let's do something soon. Awesome pictures. Wow--it looks like it was so fun.

You guys always take the best trips. I am so in need of a vacation right now, not counting Utah. A real vacation, sadly there is not one in the cards for quite some time. It looks like you guys had so much fun, great pictures. Ashley you are looking so absolutely darling! What a cute pregnant girl you are.
How fun! I am so jealous. It looks like you all had such a wonderful time!
So I was first jealous of your incredible tan. Now I am REALLY dying after I saw all the fun picutres. I heart Kauai too!
I went in college when I was at BYU-Hawaii and then went with Rich there on our honeymoon. I would LOVE to go with a huge group of family. That would be the best.
Welcome back. Good luck with the house hunt. I hope we can be close nieghbors!
PS You look amazing. You have the cutest baby bump!
Ashlee - what a fun vacation! I love all the pictures! I want to visit Kauai someday - what a beautiful, adventurous island. That didn't look like a very easy hike with being pregnant - I'm impressed! You look adorable and I love your blog.

So jealous! Your family takes the greatest vacations. Hope all is going well. And you are so cute pregnant!
Hey! I hear you stalk my BLOG...I have stalked yours from time to time and I figured I should just break the ice and comment! :) Seriously though, it is obnoxious how cute you look pregnant. You look darling! And your little boy is so precious. I am glad you guys had fun in Kauai, I just went there in December! So fun! Anyways, next time you stalk the BLOG you better comment! Loves.

The pic of make standing by your dad has he takes pictures is the cutes thing. it's so funny how much they love grandpa. tay can't get enough of my dad. So loved the top ramen pic. It totally makes me think of barefeet, summer and your family.
Super fun to see your pics and read about your trip. It was worth the long plane ride!
So this is really cheesy, but I almost cried when I was watching the picture video! (I'll blame it on after pregnancy hormones):) You guys took some super cute pics--my favs were the ones w/ the 3 of you and the ones where Mac is kissing Lucy.
We were trying to figure out how nat got so tan but i guess this tells all. You look so great, and the pictures are so great, and the trip looked like it was more than great! Where did you get black longer swim suite! I love it!
