Our family FINALLY took a real vacation for more than a few days! We are so happy that daddy was able to take some time off of work! We went to Oahu with our friends, the Panzicas, and stayed in Ko'Olina. We were so happy with our accommodations. My pictures (unfortunately) aren't the best quality because I took them with my phone during the vacation. My regular camera broke earlier this year (hence the lack of blog updates!)
Early in the morning at the airport!
Our friend, Olivia, hurried ahead of us off the plane and made this sign to surprise us. So funny.
In the car on the way to the hotel. Already feels like a long day and the vacation hasn't even started!
First cocktail of the trip! Many more of those to come!
The girls are finding the "special places" all around the resort!
Little Charlie on the beach! What a cutie, huh?
Our friends, The Turks, sent us this beautiful arrangement to our room at the hotel. This picture doesn't do it justice.
One of many nights out to dinner. What beauties!
All the kiddos together...
Olivia Panzica (9), Ryan Grace (9), Charlie Grace (7), Ben Panzica (4), and Charlie Panzica (4)
Checking out the Disney Alani Hotel. It was right next door to our hotel.
Definitely cool to see but I wouldn't have chosen there over our hotel!
Organized games and activities at the resort were so much fun for the kids.
Oops, more cocktails.
The kids started their own "hot stone" massage business at the pool.
The grown ups were happy to be their first customers.
Matching outfits for dinner.
Ben's job during the trip was to open the door for everyone. He carried the key everywhere and ran up ahead to open the door every single time. See, chivalry is not dead!
Secret pre-teen pool spot for the girls to set up their stuff.
Snorkeling time

Charlie named the fish at the resort... She found the largest one and named it "Cheesie"

Our flight was delayed 3+ hours on the way home! Ugh! Not fun, but we made the most of it.
Charlie with her souvenir, "Oscar."
We had so much fun in Hawaii. I sure hope we can go back soon!
