some things i've loved about hawaii

My trip is not yet over, but I thought I'd better post some pics already. We've had so much fun here. . . so much fun I keep forgetting to take my camera places, but oh well. I thought these pics represented well some of the things I've loved about this trip so far. . .


The beach! Since Felicia passed and the rains have subsided, we've gone almost everyday. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to spend too much time working on my tan, but oh well. ha ha The first day Malia was a little apprehensive about the sand, but she got over it quickly. Now, they both love the water and like to chill right where the wave kinda fades away on the sand.


Our stroller brigade ha ha(Tali and Malia, Hazel and Ame, Harmony and Ahonui, Uila and Chloe, me and Kina). We take nightly walks and have had a few much needed GNO's. Love these girls!


Spending time with Maddox! Dave, Shan and Maddox are all here and it's so fun seeing these cousins grow up close.


Two words - Ted's Bakery


Three words - Matsumoto shave ice


The new PCC night show, HA. I LOVED this show! I came kinda prepared to dislike it because we were a part of the old show, Horizons, for so long and loved it so much, BUT it was totally amazing. Watching it made me miss dancing, but it was fun to see our old friends who are still there (David, Shan, Inoke, Tali, Terina, Pewa, Chantel, Ricki and me)


I love that the girls can just walk around in their diapers at all times here and that they are outdoors most of the time . . . and that if they get a little hot we can just dip them in the little pool to cool off. Daaaaaang Kina! Why the stink eye?



The FOOD! I came with a list of things I want to eat while I'm here, and have gotten to almost all of them. Needless to say, it's been great. I think this was some L&L's. YUM!


Cold showers and baths! I love it! So refreshing!


Mostly, I've just loved spending time with the girls and seeing them enjoy Hawaii. It's such a kids paradise and they love it here!

So far, so good! ha ha

It's time to come home Mary. It's not fair that you're having so much fun and Wayne is over here crying, hahaha! Jk, live it up in our hometown! L-town never down! LOL, yeah whatever.

P.S. Kina's stink eye is hilarious! She's Wayne through and through. And I'm excited to see the new night show too.
