Lots of Visitors!!!

We had sooooo much fun when G-ma Vickie, Aunt Aimee, Cousin Kensie and her friend Kate came to visit!! It was an action packed two weeks, we saw lots of sights, hit up all the beaches, went to a luau, parasailed, shopped, and even got the chance to go island hopping to Kauai...it was so nice having lots of extra hands to help out with the boys. The boys and mommy loved all the extra attention!! We are really missing them and were so sad to see them go back to Iowa...the house has been pretty lonely since they left:( Hopefully they will visit us again:)

Thanks guys for everything - we really appreciated you coming to visit us, it meant alot and we had the best time with you all - love you:)

Parasailing

It was a little frightening hanging 800 ft. in the air with only one little knot connecting you to the boat below you!! It was pretty amazing way up there - thanks Kensie and Kate for giving us an excuse to parasail! And thanks G-ma Vickie for watching the boys so we could go!!

Mommy and daddy flying high:)

Cousin Kensie and Kate ready for take-off!

Paradise Cove Luau

It's nice having visitors because it makes you get out and do fun things you normally wouldn't go out and do!! We really enjoyed our time at the luau - the Mai Tais were excellent!! Everyone looked so cute all decked out in their flowers.

Mmmmm - probably the best drink ever:) Mai Tais are mommy's new favorite! Good thing we had daddy to keep us in line!

The sunset was beautiful..

North Shore

We had to spend one day at the North Shore. We hit up Sunset Beach to see some waves - then went to Sharks Cove to do a little swimming. Sam had a blast climbing around on all the rocks. It was a little choppy out so we didn't do any snorkeling.

Jack always falls asleep at the beach - I think it is the sound of the ocean waves.

Sam hangin with his ladies:)

Jack loved splashing around in the water - they are both pretty fearless of the water which scares mommy, I think we need to get signed up for some swimming lessons!

Ko' Olina Lagoons

This was our first time at the lagoons and we were pretty impressed. It is a great place to take the kids - the water was so calm and crystal clear! They had a great time swimming around and digging in the sand.

Sam had a blast with Aunt Aimee - she was his favorite swimmin' buddy!

Hanauma Bay

This was a great day - we were able to spent the whole day here! Mommy was able to convince everyone to try out snorkeling! G-ma Vickie was a trooper and after about 20 minutes of encouraging her to put her face in the water she did it and there was no stopping her after that:) Sam even got in on the action!

The boys love chillin' at the beach!

Sam and his swimmin' buddy:)

No one got to rest too much - It took mommy, G-ma, Aimee and both girls to keep up with the boys!

It is always fun cleaning Sam up after a day at the beach! Jack on the other hand manages to stay fairly clean!

Diamond Head

I was sooooo proud of G-ma, Aimee and the girls for making it to the top!! They only complained a teeny bit:) I think the views made up for all the sweat and tears!
