Alooooooha!

Since we've circled the globe the last few weeks, we thought we'd take another pit stop. Philip has craved his roots.

He undeniably loves Hawaii.

The memories of his family and growing up barefoot and free by the ocean is no doubt still in his blood. Philip has some great stories to tell. And fortunately, we were able to take Liv to share it with us. It was absolutely fantastic.

Right when we got off the airplane, Liv stripped off her clothes and was dying to jump in. Besides the fact that it took her a long while to stop panicking and franticly crying about the crashing waves, sand in her toes, and the fact that she wanted to wear a little boys' swimsuit, she warmed up pretty quickly once she found out that this ocean might be where Nemo lived.

Philip had to "re-dress" her multiple times. Skinny dipping was not an option. But of course, I couldn't help but laugh and enjoy my view.























We were definitely there for Philip's work, but the best part about the whole trip was being able to spend time with family. My sweet sisters-in-law, Whitney and Brynn, and Philip's brother Maikeli live on Oahu. It was just what the doctor ordered for Philip....a little more piece of home.

(Sorry for the pic below....too funny to keep to myself)

MAHALO NIU FAMILY!
We love love love you.
