{Hawaii - Day 7 & 8}

Day 7

More fun on Wakiki beach!  It was really rainy on the North Shore where my dad lives so we spent a lot of time in Waikiki

This was the typical view whenever we went to the beach...Garrett snorkeling and McKay boogie boarding

My Dad and Vickie took the day off of work on this day and we went

PARASAILING!!

My Dad and Vickie were so much fun and up for anything!

Getting dunked!

and almost getting hit by an airplane....just kidding :)

Then it was our turn!

McKay and I went together

Getting dunked!

Dave and Garrett went together

Notice there is not a dunking picture of Dave and Garrett...um yeah...they were TOO LIGHT!  He tried dunking them twice and Dave bairly put his foot in the water!  So funny!

Day 8

Our last day :(

Our flight didn't leave until 9:00pm so we had time to get in some last minute site seeing.

We stopped at the Valley of the Temples.  It was a Buddhist temple.  So beautiful!

Hitting the gong!

Praying and thinking real hard!

Oh and the jokes on Hawaii!  YOU CAN FEED BIRDS AT THE TEMPLE!  haha!  Thank you Buddhists!

Under a cool bambo tree that seriously sounded like it was going to fall down when the wind blew!

We went to an overlook that is REALLY windy!

Made a stop to say hi to dog...he wasn't there :(

And visited the dole plantation...it was closing thank goodness...wasn't looking forward to the train ride and the pineapple maze!  lol

Thank you for an amazing trip Dad and Vickie!! You knew such fun places to go! We love you! 

{Hawaii - Day 5 & 6}

Day 5

Day 5 was a chill out day!  We went to Waikiki and shopped a little, ate lunch at Dukes (yummy place on the beach)

Love this picture!  I think McKay was a beach bum in his other life

Took a boat ride out into the ocean and rode the waves back in.  Not relaxing, we had to paddle!

Day 6

Snorkled at Turtle Bay

and then went and spent some more time at the PCC

{Hawaii - Day 3 & 4}

Day 3

Pearl Harbor.  kind of lame.  It was under construction and I got in a yelling fight with a lady and almost got kicked out! haha  Good times! Stupid lady called McKay a jack ass...We were feeding the birds and McKay jumped up and scared the birds right into her path as she was walking by...it scared the lady to death but she didn't need to call him a name!  not so official police came to break it up...I think because we were at Pearl Harbor and they thought we might be terrorists or something....come to find out it is ILLEGAL to feed birds in Hawaii...guess they should post SIGNS because we were not the only ones feeding the birds.  So stupid!
ANYWAY
We walked around and the boys had fun exlporing, we took the boat ride out to the memorial and then we were outta there!

Went for a hike up Diamond Head that kicked my butt!  But it was so worth it once we got to the top!

Had a snow cone at the bottom of the trail from Magoo's Burgers!  That's McKay's nickname

Once again the kids are WORN OUT!

Stopped off at the North Shore to see the turtles that come up on shore every day to enjoy the sunshine!

Grabbed Garrett some shrimp from the shrimp trucks on the side of the road.

He ate his first one with the shell and legs...oops  haha how was I suppose to know, I don't eat that crap!

Met up with my Dad and Vickie and ate dinner at the buffet at the PCC

Day 4

Ate breakfast at the Hukilau Cafe!  YUMMMMM

Went snorkeling until noon...I was so suprised at how well the boys picked up this activity!  Garrett especially loved it...McKay was the more boogie boarding type.

Then we spent the rest of the day and night at the PCC.  The people there sure do love my Dad and Vickie.  It will be a very sad place when they leave in a couple of months!

McKay got called up to the stage to drink coconut water...if you know McKay you know that he is very picky at what goes into his belly plus he is very shy!  lol  He did an awesome job...I guess he will do things he wouldn't normally do when under pressure!

Our favorite performer!

We had a great time seeing all of the different cultures...New Zealand was a favorite

Had lunch at another buffet...then dinner at ANOTHER buffet!  I can feel the pounds just adding to my waist...I actually couldn't even eat dinner I was so full and didn't feel very good but the boys were in heaven!

Getting ready for the night show
