Aloha!

We just got to spend a fabulous week in Hawaii on a little family vacation. This was the first time both Tyler and Neal have ever been to Hawaii and it was the perfect vacation.


We have some good friends, the Hams, who are stationed in Oahu and so it was the perfect time for us to not only vacation but also visit with them. Let me just say, leaving Alaska for a week in the middle of January for some sun, warm weather and the beach was the perfect decision.


Neal had a great time playing with his friend Eli. Eli and Neal use to hang out together when the Ham's lived in AK but haven't seen each other in over a year. Eli called Neal "Baby Neal" but when they saw each other this time Eli said "Baby Neal isn't a baby anymore".


The first full day we were there we got to walked down to look at the water before dinner. Neal called the ocean "boom water" because of the sound of the waves that crashed on the shore and against the rocks. He continued to call it "boom water" the rest of our trip.
