Friday, on the Lighthouse Trail

On Friday we left bridezilla et al to their last minute planning, and took a hike.

Clearly, BittyPrincess doesn't like her Uncle P...



...at ALL.



The view from low on the land-side of the ridge:



The kids managed to make the hike more difficult for themselves than it had to be:



Enthusiastic even in the heat:



A bunch of way-up-high photos:






At the first lookout on the ocean side of the ridge:





It was hot. I present...princess hiking!



First decent view of the lighthouse:



View of the shore from the top:



Goofballs!



Perpetual Motion Bittyprincess:



The whole crew:



More pretty:



Awwwwww, mother and son:



Boyness!



Clearly, BittyPrincess doesn't like her Tutu (grandma) either:



Or her Papa:





And, the picture to put all earlier cliff pictures into perspective...see that little light blue pool down there? There is a person swimming in it. If you blow up the picture real good, that person is identifiable as a couple of lighter colored pixels in the water.



We managed to avoid sunburn and narrowly escape heat exhaustion, before returning to the wedding prep nonsense. No pictures of our manicure/pedicure session (which I'm sure ~L~ will thank me for). I didn't take my camera to the wedding, either...not that I would have been snapping away as matron of honor or anything, but I am looking forward to seeing the photo album. The photographer was everywhere and I'm sure she did an awesome job.

Vacation Pictures!

Time for some photo catch up, I think! We've been trying to fit our adventures in with the pre-wedding festivities/complete insanity.

We arrived on Monday and spent the afternoon swimming. BittyPrincess found a hidey-hole and decided it was her bedroom, and then proceeded to fall asleep in it, which meant I had to sleep nearby for my own sanity (and not in the nice real bed they'd set aside for me...)



The next day, we went to (arguably) the tamest beach in Hawaii.



The following day, we did some snorkeling and reef-ing at our favorite tide pools. The girls both got stung by portuguese man-of-war, which really sucked...

Snorkle Boyness:



And a whole bunch of photos of the beach we went to the next day (also where Boyness got his chance to experience the man-of-war up close and personal), before the rehearsal/rehearsal dinner/bachelorette party:

















A day at the beach is only REALLY complete if you get shave ice in there somewhere:
