This year is Morgan and I's 10 year anniversary so we had planned to go to Kona just the two of us. We were just getting ready to pay for the trip when we started talking and decided that we really wanted to take the kids with us. They love Hawaii so much and we didn't feel like we could leave them home! Morgan is so cute he said that he wanted to take mom with us, so we called her up and he invited her to go with us! We had so much fun, we played at the beach, and the pool, everyday except for two, and on those days we drove around the island and just had fun seeing the island. My favorite part of the island was Hilo. The drive was beautiful and the farmers market in Wiamea was so neat. I love all of the fresh fruit, veggies, and baked breads. We also went to the Painted Church, It is a tiny catholic church that was saved from the tsunami. They still hold their services there, it is so neat. Even though we changed our original plans completely, we had so much fun that we want to make it a yearly thing, just our little family (and mom) getting away somewhere together!
Ashton met this little girl by the pool, her name was Emily and they had so much fun playing together! After swimming for awhile Ashton brought her over to me and said " Mom I have someone new I want you to meet!" I just about died...he is such a little romeo! 
Ashton getting his gear on to snorkel for the first time
Ashton and Ali rode the paddleboards while were there. They both did so well!
Grayson let Ashton and Daddy bury him! I think Ashton loved trapping his little brother in the sand!
Ashton was so obsessed with the banana trees so when we found this little one he had to have a picture with it!
We went to the botanical gardens, there were so manybeautiful flowers and a waterfall that the kids thought was so cool!
We ate our first real Thai food while we were in Hilo. The little restuarant was so run down looking we almost didn't go in, but it was so good!
