it's a surprise {sunday: hawaii edition}

it's time for a little taste of paradise.
as always i took a gazillion pictures.  too many for one post, so i decided to break them up by doing a post for each day of our stay.
aloha and enjoy.

if you know me, you know i love love love secrets.
we kept this entire trip a secret from the girls. for weeks they would take turns guessing, asking for hints.
i loved the places they thought it would be...disneyland, seaworld, grandma's house...despite the fact their first hint was that we would be travelling on an airplane.
as we took our seats on the plane the girls were still in suspense.
the stewardess came over the speaker and said "aloha". i looked at ella's face, her wheels were turning.
a piece of paper adorned with hibiscus talking about details of the flight had been left on each person's seat.
ella took one look at it and that was it. the cat was out of the bag. it was priceless.
