Hawaii Day 6

Today my family had a lazy morning. Everyone else went to Shark's Cove to snorkel. We met them there around 1 and we all stayed an hour and a half more. Doug and the boys snorkeled. Kenzie, Colie, and I hung out in a shallow wading area. Jackson didn't really like snorkeling at Shark's Cove. He was worried that he would get pushed into the rocks. Jordan loved it though. And so did everyone else who snorkeled. There were a lot of fish. The best find was Kimber and Grandpa spotting two sea turtles. 

We spent the rest of the afternoon just hanging out at home. Doug, Grandpa, Richard, and Konrad golfed. The women and children watched movies, made plays, and ate dinner.

Hawaii Day 5

Today was Sam's 12th birthday so we spent the day doing what she wanted. First we went to Haleiwa to shop and get some shave ice from Matsumoto's. Doug, my dad, and Richard went golfing while we shopped.

 Colie didn't really enjoy shopping. He wanted me to carry him the whole time, but it was so hot I didn't want to. I carried him some of the time and he whined the rest of the time. 

 Coleman does love putting his head in any of these kind of things he sees. Too bad we didn't see more of the them to keep him happy :)

After lunch at home we went to Hukilau. It was a windy and the waves were the biggest we've seen this trip. The kids loved riding them!

 The watchers (and readers :))

 Jordan loved it out there! He would get wiped out and then jump right back up and do it again.

 Even though Kenzie had goggles she still ran back to wipe her eyes.

 Everyone turned around a lot to watch for the big ones.

While we waited for Konrad to get the ice cream (he had to get it right before we were going to eat it because we had no room in the freezer for it) we had a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament. 

 Ashlee beat Jackson.

 Kenzie beat me, then lost to Doug. She was the only kids to beat an adult and I was the only adult to lose to a kid...

 Luckily she was okay about losing. She usually isn't...

 Sam and her cupcakes.

 The candles kept relighting themselves :)
