Oahu

We had so much fun on our trip to Hawaii. Jackson was a little hard on the flight there, but slept the ENTIRE time on the red-eye flight home (thank goodness). We were there for my birthday and for Mother's Day (my first one) so that was fun. We had a house on the beach, which was perfect for us with a baby that needed naps and not so much sun. We ended up with food poisoning on Mother's Day night, and spent the whole night taking turns in the one indoor bathroom we had. My dad wasn't sick, so at least there was someone to watch Jackson! Here are some pictures of the trip:

This is the best family picture we could get. Sunset on Oahu in our own backyard. Perfect!

Grandpa and Jackson had lots of fun in the sand. Jackson ate his fair share of sand too! At first the water and sand scared him, but he got used to it. He wouldn't crawl normally on the sand, though, he crawled on his hands and tip-toes.


View from our backyard. Could anything be better? A HUGE sea turtle was on our beach every afternoon sunning himself. The boys swam with the turtles in the water too.

Jackson's new trick! He can stand! For a few seconds, anyway. He's not walking yet, but soon I bet.
