Our Hawaii Adventures

Surfing.

Yes I actually got up. I wish the waves in California were like those in Waikiki,

perfect for those of us a little nervous of the ocean.

Body Surfing.
Taylor absolutely LOVED the water. She would spend hours on the shoreline trying to catch waves and "ride" them in. She did not want to leave Hawaii.

Okay so rumor has it that this beach, an hour away from Waikiki, fills up with dolphins

at sunrise so we couldn't miss that. So we got up at 4:30AM and

drove to this place to find NO DOLPHINS.

It was beautiful though and Tyler and Russ had a blast spear fishing.

Playing in the sand.
One of Taylor's favorite things to do.

This is how exciting the aquarium was. Tyler and Taylor found some shade and laid down taking pictures of themselves making funny faces. There are some hilarious pictures but I love this one.

Parasailing.

We went with Tyler's parents, Russ and Trisha. The view from the boat and the air was amazing.

Honolulu Zoo.

If you go to Hawaii with kids this is definitely somewhere you should go. It is only $8 for the adults, it's not too big, and there are a lot of fun animals. Who knew you could find Giraffes and Elephants in Hawaii!

Shaved ice at the famous North Shore place. No offense to all the people that love this stuff but I thought it was a little much with ice cream at the bottom and Tyler had some kind of Chinese beans put it in it. I couldn't figure it out...is it ice cream, is it a snow cone, what's going on with this stuff? It was so sweet I could only stomach one bite. I know I'm boring but I think I prefer just a regular snow cone.

So that is a short glimpse of our trip. I have pictures of the babies in the water but can't get them to work right now but they LOVED the water and Ashlyn the little weirdo liked the taste. Nasty! Ashlyn also learned to stand alone on this trip and wave hello.

We had a lot of fun and are so grateful for all the help with the kids so Tyler and I could have some fun.
