What a great week we had in Hawaii. The weather was perfect, nice and hot with a bit of rain and cooling down at night. We went to the beach quite a lot, tasted lots of new kinds of fruit and did a neat walk or two.

There was lots of digging in the sand to do, and Julia finally came around to enjoying the sand and water. Kayla didn’t want to get into the water so much, but still really enjoyed the beach.

We of course spent one afternoon at the Hilton walking around the resort. We chose the hottest part of the day for some reason, but still managed to have fun, especially the kids. We walked under the waterfall, saw the dolphins including a baby, saw the flamingos, rode the boat and the train, and of course enjoyed a yummy hawaiian cocktail.

Both girls really enjoyed their cousin, grandma and auntie. Here are the three kids sporting their new t-shirts they got at the Waimea market. Kayla really had fun with Zayden and even got to go to school with him one day.

Kayla was really in heaven getting to be barefoot most of the time and wearing summer clothes everyday. This is her doing a happy fruit popsicle dance at the market. Kayla was so sad to leave Hawaii and the first day home she told me how boring it is at home and how she’d like to go back.
