Big Island 2012

The Cottage we stayed in had this tree on the porch. Immy thought it was magic.

The Cottage near Volcano National Park

 So the one thing I didn't expect to be in Hawaii was cold. We were lucky that the cottage that we stayed in had big jackets for our trip to Volcano national park, as well as a VHS player and a copy of Pearl Harbour on VHS (WTF).

Immy loved the lava 

 We drove into Volcano national park and followed the road down to the water, stopping to investigate the lava.

 Ri talks to an American: We were pulled over, so we could grab some lunch, when an American came over and asked Ri if he could have a nappy for his toddler, Ri said "No worries" and the American stood there and said "so...no?" and I said "That means yes in Australian."
The language barrier is real.

Big Island is where Immy came out with her first phrase "Where is daddy?' came out of her mouth as clear as day. She had been speaking fluent ImogEnglish and then boom, she started speaking. She was almost 18 months old.
