WE MADE IT TO HAWAII!!!!!!

It was a late night.

We got to the hotel about 11 after stopping and getting some groceries.

11 here.....that is 2:00 time in Idaho!!!!!!

I am super happy that we went to bed late this last week so we weren't absolutely terribly grumpy last night!!!!!!!

The fights went perfectly!

I was with Elsie both flights and Dad was by Porter.

The flight to Portland, Madi and Cassi sat by each other.

Then the flight to Hawaii, they were three seats across, so Cassi sat with Dad and Port and Madi sat with Elsie and me.

I can't even tell you how awesome Elsie rose was!

They all were awesome!

But Elsie was in tears before the flight to Portland.....before even taxiing to the runway.

I think it was just so much to take in.

But I got her calmed down....and then we started.

She was worried at first, but as soon as we lifted into the air, she started squealing!

It was so exciting watching it through her eyes!

I am so proud of her!

Port did awesome too.

Madi and Cassi were a little more concerned with it.....but they were rock stars too :)

We ate dinner in Portland and we were there for a few hours before boarding to Hawaii.

The flight went great again.

My favorite part.......Elsie listened to The Magnolia Story with me for most of the time.

And she wouldn't let me listen to it without her :)

She loves Chip and Joanna Gaines and it is a book they wrote.

Anyway, I just thought it was so cute :)

As we flew into Hawaii there was quite a bit of turbulence......like to the point that there was an audible gasp from the people in the plane!!!!!!!!!

But Elsie bug, not even squeezing my hand for support, enjoyed it like a champ!

Cassi and Port kept joking that the plane was gonna go down!!!!! :)

Madi was a bit nervous, as was I, but I couldn't show that!!!!!

Especially with Elsie being such a rock star!

So we got to Hawaii and got the rental car and headed to the store.

After a few groceries we got to the Hotel.

And the hotel is so great!

We have a kitchen and two bedrooms.

We are gonna have such a great time!!!!!!!
