Movie Monday

one of the kiddos favorite new games!

Last Days with Anna

On our last days with Anna we went around the island seeing all the little things she hadn't seen yet and enjoyed a few more beautiful sunsets.

Anna being here was so much fun and we were sad she had to go.

Momma and Kiddos Love-a-Anna!

Swimming with the Dolphins

We had every intention of going snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, but for reasons that kept getting in the way we never got there...so Monday morning we got up early to go back up to Pililau to swim with the dolphins...i mean dolphins trump fish any day right?

It was a great day with lots and lots of dolphins swimming around--just check it out!

see the fins and how close they are to the people? we are in the kayak to the back left

and what were the kiddos doing while we were out swimming?

yep. they were in good hands.

Touring the North Shore

the north shore is definitely one of my favorite island spots--anna couldn't leave without going up there so this past week we took the whole tour....

beach at waimea, waimea valley waterfall, kua'aina burgers, matsumoto shave ice, haleiwa shopping....a SUPER GOOD DAY!

A Real Hawaiian Luau

another fun night at Paradise Cove...
