Evidence that I also went to Hawaii

Koa crabbing (we caught 6!)

At Waimea Bay (we didn't jump off of the rock - on account of the huge waves)

At the Polynesian Cultural Center with a big Easter Island statue

If you look hard, you can see a giant sea turtle amongst the rocks

At the Hawaii temple with Auntie Kei, and cousins Ilima and Anela

More Good Times

Went to the BYU-H basketball game last night

Aloha Stadium Swap Meet this morning

And Matsumoto's Shave Ice on the way home!

Monday Fun-day

Yesterday was fun-filled: went to the beach and the Polynesian Cultural Center

In addition to jumping waves and throwing sticks into the water, Koa made a few variations of sand castles and watched the kite surfers.

The PCC has some great things for children to do: Koa's favorites were the bowling (Hawaiian game called ulu maika), and fishing.

And of course anything where a little boy gets to throw a spear and get a tatoo is an automatic winner!

New Year's Fireworks

After waking up at 5:30 am, the drive to Nashville, the 2 hour flight to Houston, and the 8 hour flight to Hawaii I thought Koa would crash and fall asleep once we were at grandma and grandpa's. I was wrong ... he had to partake in the firework extravaganza before going to bed around midnight our time. Glad we're here!
