Hawaii Moments

We saw the most beautiful sunsets. I just wish this night it wouldn't have been so cloudy.



The most beautiful hike I have ever been on! The waterfall at the end wasn't the greatest, but the flowers, trees and scenery on the way were breath taking. All the kids did great - even Kai. I can't even describe the beauty or the wonderful smell. Best of all - no snakes. Thats the best kind of hike!








Hawaii Temple - It was under construction and they were painting it, but it was still fun to go and show the kids. What an amazing visitors center!



We stopped at my favorite fruit stand on the North Shore to get pineapple. Matt also got some other fruit. We all ate it and tasted soooo good. But unfortunately Koby, Kai and Mommy's tummy did not agree with it. Luckily it was the second to last day we were there.



Shark's Cove - This is for you Aunt Abby. :)



I took Mikaela to get her first Pedicure before the trip. These are our cute toes in the sand.




Beautiful Hanauma Bay



Koby Snorkeling by his favorite - a sea Turtle. They both snorkeled and did great!



Mikaela Snorkeling




At Iolani Palace. There were so many cool trees like this with their roots growing outside the dirt. The kids loved to swing on them.





Mikaela and Koby over looking Kailua




Mr. Grumpy pants (On the boat)




At Pearl Harbor memorial - The kids really loved this!




Close to the top of Diamond Head over looking Downtown Waikiki




Matt and Kai chillin

Looks like you were able to hit all the fun stops on your trip! Woman, you look AMAZING! I know you don't feel it, but wow, you can't even tell your pregnant in your pictures!

So fun to do it before the baby comes. One day we will get back over there with ALL OF US and ALL OUR KIDS IN TOW!
