Halloween and Hawaiian Shave Ice

I am finally posting Halloween pictures, I loved looking at all your pictures. I realize it is almost December and We are just now working off the Thanksgiving feast, but here we are. Caden was King Peter for his school party, then after we went to the Disney store to get Taylor a Peter Pan sword He wanted to dress up as Peter Pan. So we borrowed a costume from my nephew for him.
Ella was a cute little witch and I was Tinkerbell for my two Peter Pan boys. Taylor would not keep his hat on. They all looked cute. Taylor quickly figured out what Trick or Treat meant. He even said 'Danks' to most of the candy givers. I was pretty pleased with the amount of candy they got not too much and not too little but enough so that they felt like they had a lot. Caden ate all of his the next day, and then he had to beg pieces off ella who wasn't feeling great and was going at a much slower pace consuming her candy. They got most of their candy at Jeremy's family Halloween party, after Halloween, they have a party the Monday after Halloween every year. They had tons of fun, and we got to try out our new shave ice machine. Dave and Amy had to hear us talk about it the whole time we were in Hawaii. I feel like Trent and Karie introduced us to the most delicious Hawaiian Shave Ice ever at Matsumoto's. We finally found a good place in Hilo on our last day there.
It was a different kind of beautiful in the big island. This is us at the "road to the sea" an accidental detour Dave led us on when we were trying to get to the green sands beach. There was a lot of 4 wheel driving involved to get there but it was worth it. The sand really was green. (top right is green sand beach)We also went to the black sand beach, all of these pictures were on the southern part of the island.

This wind blown tree is on the southern most tip of the U.S. There were a lot of trees that looked like this. We had a lot of fun, even if we were missing our lugguge for half of the trip it was all part of the adventure.
