Mr. Chatty and The Cleaning Lady

What a chatty guy :)

You're hired, Evie!

Ike's First Swim Lesson, and Evie's First Swim Lesson w/out Mama and Papa

Today was Ike's first swim lesson. It was also Evie's first lesson without a parent.

Here they are playing around before things got started.

Evie's super cute purple tutu suit

Ike was happy and very comfortable in the water

Here is Evie, her swim instructor, and the other girl in her class:

After swim lessons, we went to Hoody and Grandpa's for dinner and hangout time with Sierra, who was visiting from California. Evie and Sierra watched a show together after dinner.

Evie's 3 Year Appointment

Evie had her 3 year appointment on the 18th. She was

36.5 inches tall  (25-50%) and 30 pounds (25-50%).

I just love her Princess Leia-style hairdo.

Saying goodbye to Waikiki. Next stop: Disney hotel!

Stocking up at Target before arriving at the Disney Hotel:

Ike looked super cute in this hat :)

I took Evie to the Beach House, which was a building full of things to do for kids. 

She saw the dress up area and was in heaven.

 Lunchtime silliness

Today, Evie got to meet Minnie and Mickey Mouse. Here she is waiting patiently for her turn.

The highlight of Evie's trip:

 

A dance with Mickey

Even Iker had a great time meeting Mickey and Minnie

Playing around in the pool

 Back at the Beach House the next day

Ike had more fun at the playground than at the dress up station

The next day was rainy, so we stopped in the touristy Dole Plantation for some pineapple ice cream

More rainy day fun: playing around in the hotel room

Evie tried on some mouse ears at the hotel gift shop
