Hawaii--Pictures Speak a Thousand Words

**CAUTION** Photo dump ahead

Somehow we scored the master bedroom, complete with this outdoor shower.  It was so cool! 

Master bath

This girl was a TOTAL beach bum.  She loved the water, the sand, everything.  Although, she didn't quite like when she was wet and then got sand on her hands or feet and it didn't come off, but she got used to it pretty quickly. 

Hey wait, I have something to tell you!

Derek and I got to go on a date one night.  Wasn't the best food, but the company sure was great! :)

Fun at the splash park. 

Daddy got wet too!  Too bad

We found her this way one morning...

We were having issues with the air conditioning and it was pretty chilly.  Apparently, her head was a little cold!

Oops!  This was one of the many times she fell in the water, most of the time she went all the way under...and she LOVED it!  Sometimes she'd do it on purpose.  This girl is fearless!

I promise, she really loved the beach!

This was one of her rare cranky moments.  Derek even said towards the end of the week, "Samantha has been so pleasant this trip!"  Couldn't agree more.  Although these pictures don't tell you that!

You know she's tired when she'll lay down with you!

Where's the baby?

There she is! She loves going under the water!

This lime isn't sour. 

Oh wait, yes it is!

Nah, I'm still good!

Bike riding along the coast. 

It was such a beautiful way to start our mornings!

Fire dancers. 

Twice a week, these dancers would come and give a show for FREE!  It was fun to watch a hula show without paying an arm and a leg!

And, last but not least...

Would you look at that?

Man, I wish I was in that boat.  They certainly got a really good show!

All in all, our trip to Hawaii was AMAZING!  We spent most of our time at the beach, and Samantha spent most of her time asleep (seriously, the girl was only awake for like 8 hours of the day.  Vacations must take a lot out of her!) but we wouldn't have done it any other way.  It was so much fun, so relaxing, so enjoyable.  When can we go back?
