The boys had some adoring women visitors. Five of Ron's team came down to visit and VPK loved them!
So, my mom decided that she'd had enough of this rain, and since the boys were close to the age limit for flying free(2), we decided to take them to Hawaii. The flight there was great. The boys were perfect and people around us complimented them on how well behaved they were!
The weather was less than perfect, though just being outside, barefoot, warm, with lots of water, was enough for the boys! This day, it was very windy and I got some good shots of the boys. VPK are all about sharks. They have seen one movie-Nemo-since then, they have loved the sharks. We saw baby hammerheads @ a hotel down the beach a couple times. VPK have little squishy plastic sharks and lizards that they tote everywhere! The above right picture is Vanny showing his "shark teeth".
These little gentlemen are SO different, but they are both blessed with a great sense of humor. We had so much fun @ the pool. The boys are very outgoing and friendly. PK really like the girls in particular-older ones. We stayed @ Ko'olina, which is a strip of hotels and condos that are situated on 3 lagoons. This was perfect for little ones, since there were no waves. PK didn't like the tide of water coming in and out in the ocean. He was more a pool-man. Van like both, and swam with my mom in the ocean.
VPK got to feed the Koi fish, and thoroughly enjoyed all the fish. All of them were one of the Finding Nemo characters. In fact, when Van woke up in the morning, he would start chattering about Dory in his bed. PK's favorite, I think, is the hammerhead sharks.
These two were so confident in the water-they absolutely love it! I was talking to another mom in the pool, me and PK on the side, and she was holding her toddler girl. All of the sudden, PK jumps into this ladies arms! She loved it-luckily;)
Our condo had one huge door window onto the patio, which when open, the whole wall was open. VPK thought they were pretty cool because they could come and go as they pleased! PK took his smoothie from grandma out on the patio to enjoy by himself.
I used this picture for their 2nd birthday invite.
I love this picture of VPK and I. It really shows the difference in their personalities! PK is a private soul. If he sees a camera or video camera he will not look in their direction. Pax has a sweet voice and the demeanor to match. His movements are gentle-though he is pure boy when it's time to be rough. He is a good audience for his brother. Van is rough almost all the time. You don't want him to comb your hair;) Van is a total ham. If he turns and sees a camera, he flashes his best smile and keeps his eye on it for another opportunity. He is great with his expressions, it's like he knows when a laugh is needed.
The airplanes were another bonus during the trip. The last couple of nights, Van was sick. He felt better on the plane ride home. He didn't really want to stay in that seat. We had horrible turbulance as well, which kept even the flight attendants down for about 90 minutes. PK got sick and Van got ornery. All in all, they were really good, considering they were on our laps.
We were fortunate to see and spend some time with Ron's grandma D from Iowa. We had a very nice brunch @ his aunt and uncles where she was staying.
As per usual, PK is flirting, and Van is entertaining. VPK are pretty social and adaptable kids. They love company, and make themselves @ home wherever we go.
