A Great Souvenir

So we went to Hawai'i, and the rebels we are we brought home some interesting souvenirs. When we were there, the "Aloha Spirit" really immpressed us. If you've never been, it's the idea that things like the sunset on ocean are more important than the hustle and bustle of every day life. Many Hawaiians take that time to stop, turn west, and just let the day go. "Aloha..." And that's just one example. So Becky and I wanted to bring that, along with the wonderful feeling of vacation and Maui home with us. So here's what we did:

Before...(it's Becky's first time with one this involved, she had to have a little pain killer)


Before...


...After.


The foot is Ava's, at the exact she was while in Hawai'i. It was a stamp taken actually on her 16 month day, August 6th. The hibiscus is a flower found all over Hawai'i, so it's very symbolic of that. Becky has her left foot with a pinkish flower, I have her right with red-orange. And I can't believe the number of positive comments we got from the wide variety of people on our way home from Maui. So we're very excited about them. Matt E from Island Ink Tattoo in Pa'ia, Maui did the art work for us. Thanks Matt!
