Aloha! Our Hawaii Days!

Aloha! This is our view from our condo!

We had a great time in Hawaii.

We went to the island of Oahu and stayed in Waikiki, 2 blocks from the Waikiki Beach.

Jake had a great time! He loved the beach and boogie boarding. He got to snorkel but only lasted about 20 minutes, it was a rough day out in Hanauma Bay and we were both a little scared, Bill daddy lasted the longest snorkeling. It started to rain so we packed up and left. Grandma and Alani were spectators getting soaked by the storm!

Alani had no clue she was in "Paradise" but was a good girl even though we kept her up late every night! She learned to fall alseep in her stroller or in the wrap!

Here are a few pictures

We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center where Jake was able to try to start fire by rubbing the sticks together, he had 45 seconds to make some smoke! We watched someone climb a cocounut tree

He made smoke in 45 seconds!

His dad Kyle sent him some money to buy something in Hawaii, here are a few of his purchases! necklace, pearls
