Magic.

Boy have we been enjoying this Christmas break!

Honestly, it hasn't felt much like a "break" in that we have done little resting

We have been go-go-go with my parents, family, and many adventures.

Adam and I aren't used to so much driving, swimming, and playing.

One of my new favorite spots is Waipio Valley. 

It was truly a magical, mystical, amazing place.

Mist, flowers, horses -

I felt like I was in my own little girl fantasy fairy-tale land:

The waves were GINORMOUS. Seriously. THEE biggest waves I've EVER played in.

And of course, as we all know, photos don't do it justice.

Yet I try anyway - cuz it's still fun. 

And, unfortunately, all this black sand turned Adam and I into dirty, ravaging trolls.

But we were happy nonetheless.
