Hawaii

I have almost forgotten how to blog it has been so long. My pictures are backwards so if you want to start from the beginning of our trip start at the bottom.
We all had Spring break for a week so we decided to try and go to HAWAII. It was a lot of work but also A LOT of fun! One of my favorite sayings is "It's not the Destination but the Journey." But with this trip it was the Destination and the Journey that made it so great!


This is Demmy and Grandpa waiting for the Canoe Ride at the Polynesian Culture Center. The PCC was one place everyone loved and had a great time! We didn't get too many pictures there because this was almost our last day and we had run out of space on our camera.
We had just gotten to the PCC and couldn't wait to get going. We just had to get covered in SunScreen first!
This is at the Pineapple Factory. Maycie and Dylan loved the fish almost as much as the Pineapple Icecream.
Danny and Dylan feeding the fish. It was just starting to RAIN.
This is a picture of Demmy pretending to try the ice cream. We made all of the kids try it if they wanted to eat french fries.
Daniel said this is his favorite place in Hawaii because he LOVES the ice cream. (and no he wasn't eating it with ketchup, that was just for the fries)
Here we all are at Pearl Harbor. We didn't go out on the boat because it was a 2 hour wait, but it sure was beautiful there.
This is Danny just chilling at the beach. The kids loved hanging out at the beach so every night we would just go down ti Waikiki beach and relax.
Dylan loves his Grandpa.
We were coming home from Haunama Bay we stopped at a place called Pali (sp?) lookout. It was so beautiful but I don't think that I have ever seen is so windy in all my life. I really thought it was going to blow me over. But I did love our cute hair!!
This is Maycie at Haunama Bay. She loved the water as long as her Daddy was there to take her out in it.
This is Derrik at Haunama Bay. He was such a good snorkeler. Daniel and him lived in the water and loved to see all the fish.
Marlee loved the birds. She kept trying to catch a bird. They were pretty fast. At one time I think she had about 20 birds surrounding us.

This is us at Haunama Bay before the big hike down.

Maycie and Dylan at the beach. They both were so good on the trip! We were very lucky!
Danny burying himself in the sand.
Can't believe how big our boys are getting. They were so much help on this trip. We couldn't of done it without them!
Here are the beautiful girls.
Dylan and Grandma playing in the sand. It is always so much more fun when Grandma is there!
Derrik climbing the Banyon tree outside our hotel
We didn't take our car seat so we bought one at Walmart when we got there. It just didn't have a way to rest his head so Derrik was his head rest!

This is Danny looking out from Diamond Head. That was an amazing hike with amazing views. Luckily it rained lightly some of time to cool us off.

All of us on Diamond Head

This is on our flight to Maui, just beginning our trip and very excited to get to Hawaii.

We had an amazing time on our family trip to Hawaii. It was great to just spend time together as a family. The Journey and the Destination were unforgettable.
