Our Month on Oahu

Enjoying lunch with Aunt Sarah at Aloha Tower, watching the cargo ships from the mainland maneuver into port.

Aren’t the boys so sweet when they are asleep?! Alli reluctantly gave up her throne at Aunt Sarah & Uncle Jason’s house so that the boys could have a turn staying over. If you look closely you can make out Jake on the right – I promise we didn’t lose him!

But we’re very excited to find out! Alli has been enjoying trips to Yogurtland and one day, this hello kitty sticker showed up on the front door. We’re placing bets on flavors, accessories, etc.

A rare shot of Ty with his uncle jason! We didn’t stay at spitting cave for long since it was giving Holly heart failure watching the kids lean over the cliffs into the rocks and ocean 40 feet below.

After a hard day at the water park, everyone was hungry for sushi. Ty had eel, Jake a bento box, and Alli tempura and udon. We’re stuffed, but Jake is urging us all to leave room for ice cream… Shocking for those of you who know him, I’m sure!

Ty and Jake are practicing their moves on Da Flowrider.

I know, no one goes to Hawaii for the theme parks. But the kids insisted, so here we are.

Here’s a better quality video of Jake cliff-diving at Maunawili Falls. We estimate it was close to 30-35 feet high!

We had worked up quite an appetite! Alli was psyched for her strawberry pancakes (a girl after my own heart). Good thing we paddled all the way out into the ocean, Alli on the paddleboard and me and uncle jason in the kayak.

Today Alli woke up to French toast, courtesy of Chef/Uncle Jason. This fueled her excursions for the rest of the day with Aunt Sarah, including paddleboarding, a trip to the hair salon for faux colored hair and feathers, and a hike out to spitting cave. Phew.

We’re tired! But not too tired for cupcakes!

Sitting on Kailua Beach, listening to Katy Perry, reading Harry Potter with my boy. Doesn’t get any better!
