(Inspired by reading If You Give a Pig a Pancake by Laura Numeroff with Miss Viv the other day.)

If you take a baby to Hawaii, she'll want to sit on the beach and look cute.

So you'll take her to Lanikai Beach (best beach on Oahu).

She'll probably get sandy and want to go down to the water with Daddy to rinse off.

The hot sun will make her thirsty. So you'll take her to Waiola Store for the best shave ice on the island (be sure to get your shave ice with a little vanilla ice cream in the bottom, but NOT THE AZUKI BEANS!).

She'll cool off considerably from the shave ice and be ready for more adventure. So you'll take her on a hike at Manoa Falls in the warm, steamy and fresh green jungle.

Chances are, the hike will make her hot and hungry, so you'll take her to the North Shore for some more shave ice at the famous Matsumoto's.

While you're at the North Shore, you'll visit Turtle Beach, of course, and its resident honu (sea turtles). You'll feel so blessed to have these amazing creatures brush past your leg as you stand in the water.

After all that, she'll probably be peckish again, so it's off to dinner with the Aunties, Jennifer and Wendy. She'll be serenaded Hawaiian style at the table on the beach.

The sound of the ocean waves will remind her that she's in Hawaii. So she'll probably ask to go sit on the beach again, just so she can look cute.
