Hawaii Day 4 & 5...

Today was our traditional 'girls day out'...and oh baby, the swap meet never gets old. The boys golf...we shop, isn't that how it should be?

This picture is for my mom...who always wears the loveliest of visors. We would have bought these had you been with us mom, but decided posing for this picture was good enough. 2012 baby, and we'll all buy the coolest visors with you!

Hard rock Cafe for some lunch.

Back at the 'home front'...the boys spent their day at the pool and beach with the kids.

I love this picture...Jack being so perfect, and the girls in the background ready to claw each other. That about sums up my life!

After shopping and eating, us girls picked up our families and headed to the North Shore, where the news told us waves were 20-40 ft. We stopped in Haleiwa, saw some waves and turtles, and then drove on to Waimea Bay. It was worth the drive.

My family then made a stop at the Dole Plantation...gotta get that pineapple ice cream, its the best!


And Jack's favorite part of Hawaii...the train.

Day 5...we were ready for some Cheesecake Factory. So we headed to Waikiki for lunch and shopping. For some reason...it's so much funner to eat there without kids, more relaxing, quieter, and much cheaper too!

And back to the pool!!

Hawaii Day 3...

Saturday was another beach/pool day...the whole day long, I wish I could live in my swimsuit!

We thought we would use our mad sand sculpting skills again this year.

And dinner all together with an ice cream run late that night to top off a perfect day!

Hawaii Day 2...

We woke to the beautiful Hawaiian sun today...did some grocery shopping, sent Phil & Cais off to golf, and Alaina and I, with the kids, hit the pools all day! It was heaven!

Lunch at Kohole's...with a perfect view of the beach!

The boys decided to give us a dance show...it was lovely!

Oh the sno-cones...I could go on and on about those babies!! Sometimes 1 a day just wasn't enough...so we'd have more!! Blue Hawaii is the best flavor EVER...I could drink the syrup straight from the bottle! YUM!

As soon as we would get into the car...Jack was out!!

A nice easy meal at Wendy's...we were too tired to cook, but too lazy to go somewhere nice!

The Jenkins arrived tonight...they didn't have flight delays (lucky)!

Hello Hawaii!!!!

And we were off...well kind of. After a 2 1/2 hour delay because of 'mechanical problems', the kids playing with everything packed for the plane in the airport, and an almost 8 hour flight due to head winds and having to fly a bit slower because of a broken door...we made it!

What an amazing vacation...couldn't have been any better (ok, mom and dad there would have been the BEST). Of course I have so many pictures, so I'm organizing, and will post a day or 2 at a time. For those of you who make fun of my fiddy thousand pictures...don't look.

This was before they announced the delay...so excited!

Our tradition of a Chili's dinner was our first stop...

Evan couldn't stay awake...slept on the table. Maybe because it was 11:30pm back in Utah.

Checking in... (don't ask what Ellie is doing, she's trouble, or according to her...sexy!)

Showered and ready for bed! And it was only 2am Utah time! What a day!

Kurt, Kara, and Ethan joined us the next day...
