Drew Meets McDoland!

We ran to the McDonald's by the Polynesian Cultural center and Drew came with me, and he was so excited to see McDonald himself sitting there!

Drew Dancing in the car

Drew loved the music, he started to dance all by himself, and this is what we saw...

Hicking Diamond Head


Before we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center we hicked up diamond head.  It was a long hike for the kids but they did it.  Savannah was so "happy" to go hiking, especially since she had to wear flip flops, he other shoes had given her blisters the day before.  She was not a happy hiker.  Drew got a ride most of the time, but once you get to the top the view is worth it.

This is looking down from the top, you can see the parking lot where we started. 
Poor Savannah ended up coming down in one flip flop because she got blisers on her foot from the flip flops on the way up, she was a good trooper.

The Dole plantation

After Hanauma bay we road around the highland to the Dole Plantaion.  They where all fascinated by the pineapples.  And we went in the "World's biggest Maze"  It was hot, very hot, but we found all the markers, and the kids ended up having fun.  Savannah complained a little because something was in her eye most of the time.  Ok, maybe she complained a lot!
I was trying to get a picture of the kids in the tree, and Drew wouldn't look at me, so Savannah tried to get him to look, and her got mad and pulled her hair, something he was donig a lot of!  He finally has stopped but I thought it was funny I got a picture of it.

Hanauma Bay

Our first activity was snorkeling. The kids didn't do too much of that, they either got water in the goggles or in the snorkel but they loved playing on the beach.


Savannah made the mistake of feeding the birds, at one point she tried to run away from them but they just kept following her.

Finally some Hawaii pictures

So we took over 500 pictures in Hawaii, so I won't post them all but I'll post some of each place we went.
 Drew was the best traveler, he was so good ont he way out.  Here he is sleeping, but when he was awake he stayed in his seat the whole time!
Mark's Uncle Mike met us at the airport and gave us all lei's and candy leis.  The kids loved it.
This is the view from our hotel balcony it's the military hotel the room was tiny but who stays in their room when they are in Hawaii?

Memorial Day

While I was in Utah Mark took the kids shopping for new swimsuits and than he took them to the beach on memorial day, here are some of the pictures.  It looks like they had a lot of fun.
