Paradise in Hawaii

Aloha Cousins! (common welcome in Hawaii)

We have returned back from our trip to Oahu, Hawaii and it was fabulous! We did so many fun things, and it will be a vacation we will remember forever! We loved having our toes in the sand while listening to the waves crash on the golden beach, having the sun pouring its rays down on us, and being adventurous (snorkeling and surfing).  We had such a great time and thank you to my family for inviting us to tag along!  There are a lot of pictures and we hope you feel like you were there relaxing in the sun with us!
Getting ready for take-off!

Brady was called on stage to dance, can anyone say - Shimmy!


 If you have ever seen "Man vs. Food" on TV you will appreciate the below photos: we tried the Mac Daddy Challenge at Mac 24-7, let's just say, we are full on pancakes for the rest of the year!
