Hawaii trip

In May we decided the lure of Grandparents in paradise was too great and made another trip to see Pete's parents in Oahu.  The trip was about as great as it gets.  We had perfect, warm weather and got in the water every day we were there.  We found some perfect kid beaches and amazing snorkeling and got to spend every day with two of our favorite people.

 We went on one hike this time and only made it 1/3 of the way before running back to the car as we tried to escape the flesh-eating mosquitoes.  By some miracle the kids didn't get a single bite, but Pete and I were so covered with bites we had a hard time sleeping that night.

 Water fights and sand castles

 Grandma Pam threw the girls an early birthday party while we were there, complete with cupcakes, games, gifts and toddler make-overs the next day.

 She painted their toenails and did their hair with fancy braids and bows.  They looked so cute and loved every second of it.

 They also gave Pete and I a gift when they watched the kids all day Saturday so we could have some time alone.  We had a wild kayaking/hiking adventure in Kilua, then headed to Waikiki for stand-up paddle boarding in the bay as the sun went down over the water and then had a romantic and delicious meal at our favorite place to eat on the island; Cafe Haleiwa.  It was a pretty dreamy day.

Thank you Pam and Wynn for an amazing trip.  We can't wait to see you back here on the main land in August!
