Hawaii - Sea Turtles and Lei's and Parasailing

We drove over to Paradise Cove to see the sea turtles. These girls love snorkeling with Daddy.

I'm so grateful for this beautiful lady. Tiffani is one of my best friends and vacationing with her and her family is one of my favorite things in life. She makes my life better.

Me and the boys went parasailing. B had been before when he was a kid, so he decided to have me and the boys go this time, and he'll take the girls the next time we go. Charlie was scared when he saw the person ahead of us go up in the sky. But I convinced him it would be fun and he agreed to go. Then, once we got up there, I was the one who was scared. The boys were bouncing and kicking their legs and I was like, "Hold still!"

It was peaceful up in the sky.

We won some slide races while we were there and got some free snow cones. Tiffani, Carson, Caitlin, B and Charlie all won in their divisions.

Hawaii - Birthdays and Hikes and Baby Powder Sand

Day 4 was Juliette's birthday. She is four!! We bought some donuts and ate them while we took a hike at Manoa Falls. It was fun to see the jungle side of Oahu.

We ventured over to the north east side of the island, to Lanikai Beach. The sand is like baby powder over there. The kids loved playing with this sand.

Later that night we got more donuts from Leonard's. They have the Portuguese donuts and they are so yummy. We sang to our birthday girl. We love her.

Hawaii - At the Resort

Day two was spent up at the North Shore. We love visiting the visitor's center at the temple and chatting with the sister missionaries there. And of course we always stop at the Dole Plantation and get a dole whip. We went to Sunset Beach and spent some hours in the big waves.

Day Three we took a walk over to the Four Seasons, which is just a few lagoons away from our hotel.

I will follow these beach bums anywhere.
