Hiking and Beach Day

On their first full day here, we began by hiking Makapu'u and then headed home for lunch, then to Sherwoods beach.

All smiles as we begin!!!





 And still smiling at the top….perhaps because he was carried much of the way. :) Thanks Wil!





 Finally, beach time!





Ohlers are Visiting!

The Ohlers (Tam, Kate, and Wil) have been here for a week now and we are going non stop! Today, I finally stopped to take a breath and attempt to catch up on the action.  The arrival was built with anticipation.  The HNL airport doesn't have one central release from the secure area towards the baggage claim…there are several, and although we miss communicated where we were we finally met up with the fam!
Needless to say the travelers were tired and hungry.  We stopped near the house to check out the ocean first.


 Then later we headed to the spitting caves for a scenic sunset.

School's Out for Summer!

But not for long….we head back on August 1st  For now….let us enjoy.  The boys had a half day last Thursday for their final day of school and we headed straight to Ko'Olina to the Marriott Ihilani to crash on Dad's hotel room where he was having a conference for work.  We headed straight to the pool and didn't leave for 48 hours….so much summer fun already!

Jonah was obsessed with the phone in the bathroom! He thought that was too cool!
 Jonah always wants to jump to someone….even though he is a giant and almost clobbers Caleb moments after this picture. :)
 Dad was done with meetings and on his way to dinner! Thankfully he came by the pool to see us. :)
More pool fun on Thursday. 
 Bushia took this pic right after she dropped the boys and I off at the hotel.  Let the summer fun begin!
 The view from the room…up the west coast of Oahu.
 Nice lighting with the setting sun :)
 Picturesque. 


 Friday was spent much the same way as Thursday afternoon….
THrow in a poolside lunch and it was a mighty fine day. 



The resort had some hammerhead sharks and stingrays.  We watched a feeding later in the day and those things were going crazy!   
 We took a long walk around the grounds...

 …and headed up the coast for a bit to search for some turtles.  We did see a few but missed out on any photo opps.
 We also found a heart in the rocks. <3 p="">


 Saturday morning while Dad golfed, Jonah and I walked over to Aulani, the Disney resort to snap a picture with Mickey.  He stood in awe at the sight of him. "Mom, that's the real Mickey?"
 But he would go nowhere near that thing.  Not even with mom.
 He said, "I want to take a picture from over there!"
Afterwards, we headed straight back to the pool and met Dad and his coworkers and some of their families.  Mom got lots of baby time and Jonah had to get in the middle of all that. 
Uncle Tom was a good distraction for Jonah. 
 Dad, got to be Uncle Eric and give piggy back rides all over the pool!
 And by that afternoon, our boys were sunshines out and ready to head home!
 Especially this home body...
