Hawaii

We had a pretty good time in Hawaii. Although it did rain several days. We were able to spend time with my parents. They took us to the Polynesian Cultural Center. Alli was able to participate in dances, playing the drums of tonga, stick game an poi poi balls from fiji. Then the girls stayed with grandma & grandpa, so JR and I could go to dinner. Then we took Alli to PCC Luau. We had one sunny day at the beach. The kids loved the sand and water. Ohau has wild chickens running around the island. Mom and dad, had their own wake up call at 4:30 in the morning from the rooster running around. They also had baby chickens running around the yard. Abby loved chasing them. We then flew to Maui and stayed for 10 days. We were able to swim in the pool. They have a small waterslide that Alli and Abby loved going down. Alli also participated in the kids club. Our condo had activities for kids. She made a tye dye shirt, a stuffed animal and painted some pictures. She thought that was cool because she could do this all by herself. We also drove to Hana. It is around the other side of the island. It takes about 5 hrs to do. Along the way they have different sights to see. Black sand beaches, 7 sacred pools (lava rock formed pools all they down to the ocean. Waterfalls run into each of these pools. People can swim in them). Alli and JR hiked up to the waterfall. It is definatly nice to be home. We had a good time but traveling with two little kids for that long is to long.

Hehehehe, I was wondering how the traveling went. I don't think I could do it with little ones lol. A 2 hour car ride puts me over the edge. Looks like you had lots of fun! I'm glad you made it there and home safely!!
