HAWAII!

I still can't believe we were able to go to Hawaii. It was such a fun week and so nice to spend time with each other, and all the Purcells. The plane rides to and from were not fun but we were so lucky to have help from Lola and Nate on the way down and Tia's mom and Soli on the way back.

Highlights of the trip were:
-Attending the Alo's sealing
-Going to Jethro's first birthday party
-Being there for the unveiling of the headstone for Mama and Papa's grave
-Staying in a house right on the beach
-Eating fresh Hawaiian fruit and TONS of other yummy food
-Purcell Talent Show
-BBQ at a fun park
-Family Musical Fireside
-Family Dance
-Watching the cousins play together
-And just being together with all of the Purcells. This was the first time in 10 months everyone in Tia's family was together!

Together Forever! This was such a sweet sealing and I feel so blessed we were able to be there.

"Sam's Store." Tia would save up coins to get treats there as a boy.
Oh, these mangos were heavenly.
Papa cutting breadfruit. I love it.
The beautiful temple.

This is the loopy stage before Avery threw her tantrum on the way home.
