Back from Hilo

We went to Hilo this weekend to celebrate the life of Toby's grandma. In doing so, we took the girls on their first plane ride and our first family trip. Thank goodness we had Grandma Joyce, Aunty Sandy and Aunty Leatrice with us--what a weekend! We stayed at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, which was nice...despite the fact that there was no hot water Saturday night and there was a party in the room above us until 1:00 am. The girls were great on the plane---the flight home, Maddie was a little upset but we think it is because the girls both have colds and bad coughs. Again, due to blogspot being weird, the photos are totally out of order.

Toby and Katie and Liliuokalani Park - there were TONS of mosquitos and Katie got bitten by at least 7 of them.

The girls obviously wanted to take a bath---here is Maddie sitting in the inflatable bath tub

Katie loves Joey, the Nakano's cat. Here is Dylan holding Joey so Katie can pet her.

Grandpa Rod liked feeding Maddie some rice---see it all over her face?

We made it to Hilo!

Katie eating her first kid's meal---it was $0.99 and could have fed 4 little kids - they shared teriyaki chicken and rice and the tofu from the miso soup. At Nihon restaurant.

Maddie with a Gerber Star on her face---these are her puff snacks--she had no clue this was stuck on her nose
