We enjoyed a wonderful 6 days in Hawaii. Both kids did great on the flights and really enjoyed having mommy and daddy around at the same time!
Riding the shuttle to the airport. We got stuck in a lot more traffic then we thought we would, so we were worried we might miss our flight, but we made it happen!
We made it on to the plane, thank goodness.
Cooper slept while Kylie and Craig made sure we all understood the evacuation instructions.
She got to watch Monsters Inc. for the first time, she watched the whole thing without blinking and as soon as it was over she said "Can I watch another movie?" She ended up taking a nap and enjoying the other toys we brought, but it was good to know that we had a way of keeping her completely entertained for a couple hours if we needed to.
We made it to Hawaii selfie
Ama and Papa rented a mini van! we loved it! Kylie kept calling it a train and she loved being in the back.
First thing she did at the hotel was find her surfboard from last year.
Then we jumped on the bed to celebrate being in Hawaii!
Cooper's first moment in the sand.
He was not so found of the sand, so we did a lot of this instead.
Papa and Ama came down to the beach to hang out with us too.
Then we enjoyed drinks and dinner at Ama and Papa's wonderful hotel room.
the next day Kylie wanted 6 braids for beach day.
While Kylie and Craig were napping, Cooper and I had a mother/son date. I got coffee and he got a banana, it was fun!
Then it was time to wake up big sis.
We went adventuring trying to find Kylie a snow cone, but all we found was Yogartland, she was happy.
Still trying to get Coopie used to the sand...
but he was much happier with his daddy.
Sleeping in the stroller. There were many times during the trip that we were glad we had our stroller, both Cooper and Kylie napped well in it.
We finally found Shave Ice!
Who said it was not a double stroller?!
The way we started every morning, listening to live music and watching hula dancing. Kylie and I even took the hula lessons a few times (Craig has all those photos, we will have to add them later).
Cooper enjoying his breakfast noodles.
We went back to the zoo and what did Kylie want to do more then anything? that's right, milk Lannie Moo the fake cow and pet the goats.
Cooper enjoyed the zoo stroller, but it was Kylie who was sitting in it when the break accidentally engaged and ejected her out the front. That was the end of our very short zoo day.
Kylie loved the water! And really enjoyed having her floaties on.
Selfie at Sea Life Park.
Yep we attached a huge umbrella to the stroller. We also had two more that my mom and dad were holding. Can't have too many sun umbrellas in Hawaii.
Nursing during the dolphin show.
Kylie did go on the trip with us, but she was not interested in being photographed.
More breakfast noodles.
Coopers other favorite activity these days...pushing the stroller.
and surfing...kinda.
stroller naps on the beach
They both fell asleep for the same 30 minutes, it was like a little miracle, my mom and I just sat there and enjoyed relaxing, it was amazing, finally felt like vacation and this was on our last full day there :o)
Our hula girl.
Craig had to return the rental car, this was my attempt to make it through the airport alone, cooper was on my back, we did a pretty good job with everything attached to the stroller.
Playing in the airport waiting to go back home.
And now these are the photos from my camera from the trip...
Some time with my boy while the others slept.
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner out at PF Changs on night and watched the sun set on the way back to the hotel. We also got to see two big boats come to shore.
Sea Life Park day
Kylie and I got to feed the dolphins.
and the birds.
by our last beach day Cooper was getting a little better about being in the water and sand.
Family photos while we were there...
Every morning we were there the hula dancers would make Kylie a bracelet.
This was our last morning, the same hula dancer and singer were there from last year.
