Audrey and Kate got up with the sun this morning to start their trip to Hawaii. Despite being awoken at 4:30 and a long day of flying (especially the five-and-a-half-hour leg from the mainland to Kona), the girls did quite well (to Mama and Dada's relief). They watched lots of shows on their DVD player, played with a lot of apps on the iPad, did a lot of drawing, and enjoyed lots of snacks from both the airline and a special stash Mama had packed for each of them.
Upon arriving in Hawaii, the girls helped Mama and Dada pick up a rental car and then went to White Sands Beach until they could check into the condo they'll be staying at. The water was cool but much warmer than back home. The beach is on the small side but the waves are still quite strong even in the shallows, as we all found out after the girls were toppled by the surf a couple of times. After a shower to rinse out the sand and a trip to Safeway for some provisions, the girls were ready to crash in their beds on the lanai.
