I must admit, it was quite stressful before we left with B-man and Boo coming up sick the week before we left. In fact, we weren't quite sure until the morning of our flight that we would in deed fly that day because Boo was still puny. But, alas we did and I'm so glad that we did!
We had so much fun and went full on for 10 days! We got back to TX yesterday and have been catching up on our sleep. Even Boo slept in until 10:15 this a.m.!
So here are some highlights. I know...it's a lot. But consider yourself lucky...I took over 200 photos!
A HUGE THANKS to Uncle A for hosting us! He was a great tour guide and made sure that we all got to do what we wanted.
Uncle A and E
Boo and I take our first steps into the Pacific Ocean at Kailua Beach.
Lighthouse...way up on the mountain.
Just beautiful!
This is the area where a lot of the LOST scenes are filmed. 
Waimea Bay!The North Shore, Baby!
Big surf in the winter; calm bay in the summer.
Is it bad that this is my FAVORITE picture??
Fun with Dad in Haleiwa!
Pearl Harbor
I got so emotional over the USS Arizona.
Hanauma Bay! Just breathtakingly beautiful!
B-man and I got to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay!
Blue as blue can be!
Reindeer games!
This is E (Uncle A's son)! He lives in Australia and this is our first time meeting him and his mother.
They're both simply wonderful! E is such a happy, happy boy!
On Christmas Day they were predicting 30-40 ft waves on the North Shore.
We got up early and drove up to check them out. Look at all of the people on the beach and along the road who also came out that day. It was amazing!
These photos don't do the waves justice at all.
They were massive! So cool to see.
A new Christmas tradition???
Watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean in Waikiki.
Does it get any better than that?
The view from our hotel room.
Playing in the sand.
B-man buried Boo in the shape of a tugboat!
My sweet boy and me!
At Kailua beach on the day we flew out of Honolulu.
Boo just loves the water...a little too much.

Pearl HarborI got so emotional over the USS Arizona.
To think of that day and all of those men still inside the ship....I was just overcome with sadness.
It also made me so proud of B-man and Uncle A for protecting our country.
Hanauma Bay! Just breathtakingly beautiful!

He wants to go way out and he doesn't want you to hold him. Oh brother!
Father and son!
Father and son!Again, we had so much fun! We were tired and sick, but we didn't let that keep us down. It was great to share the adventure with Granny and Grandpa too. It was also their first time meeting E and F. We do have some unfinished business though...we didn't hike or surf, so Uncle A....we'll be back!

Love the pics. Makes me want to go back to Hawaii. Rob's family is there now. His sister and her family are staying for two weeks and his parents are going to be gone for about a month. We were suppose to go on that trip too but little Callie is preventing that.Guess i should not complain though because we only have about 8 and a half more weeks until we meet her. allyson
Looks like you had a great time. I am so jealous of your tan too.
Love Love Love the plumber's butt pic. That's a framer for sure! I'm so glad you all had such a great time!
Looks like an amazing trip!! Love the family pic (with the flower in your hair) and of course, Boo from behind sitting in the sand!! :-) Did you stay at the Hale Koa...your view of the sunset on Waikiki looks just like ours. I definitely think Hawaii in December should become a tradition! :-)
I am so jealous! Looks like a great vacation!! I LOVE the new picture on the top of the blog too...Happy New Year :)
Love the new picture of the three of you. Looks like you had an incredible time. The water looks so blue. I am a bit jealous. I'm glad one of us got to experience it. I have to admit, though, my favorite pic, like Rachel, is the one of the plumber's butt. Too cute. You'll have to save that for his first date or wedding. Glad you had a great time and made it back safely. Talk or text you soon (ha ha!).
The boys and I are here cracking up at Boo's plumber butt! It was also their favorite pic of all (you're not alone! :) Looks like you all had a beautiful time together--what a gorgeous backdrop!!! Blessings as you reaclimate!
WAVE WATCHING CAN ONLY BE A NEW CHRISTMAS TRADITION IF THE FULMER FAMILY GETS TO COME TOO! LOOKS LIKE YA'LL HAD BEAUTIFUL WEATHER AND VIEWS! I AM GLAD THAT YOU ALL HAD A GOOD TIME.
