Finally, I'm getting to the last week of Hawaii. I kind of forgot that I needed to still do this one.
Week 4, Day 1, Wednesday.
We went to Sea Life Park. It's kind of like tiny Sea World. Shell and her kids didn't join us. We found a way to get pretty cheap tickets so we went. We had a great time. We saw a sea lion show, a dolphin show, and a show featuring a dolphins, sea lions, otters, and penguins. There was a playground and a petting pool (I'm not sure what it's actually called, but you know what I mean right?)
Everyone watching the Sea Lion show. Coleman and I stayed to side for this one so he could have a little smoothie snack.

Cute Coleman with his mo-hawk.
The play ground was designed for only big kids to go up to the top part, where the slide was. There was a tricky curvy ladder that was in a tunnel and that was the only way to get up. And the only ways to get down was a twisty tunnel slide or the curvy ladder in a tunnel. Kimber helped Kenzie get up the curvy ladder, but once Kenzie got up there she was not very happy. She doesn't like slides. She never goes down big ones. And there weren't even any edges that I could lift her down from. And getting down the tunnel ladder was too tricky because I was too big for it and I couldn't reach her well enough. It took quite awhile, but I finally convinced her to come down the slide (backwards on her tummy) by bribing her with lunch.
And then she ended up loving it and wanted to go down it again. But now she's back to not liking big slides again. She will go down a twisting tube slide at Chuck E Cheese's though. the same kind of thing happened there though. It was pretty much her only option of getting down since she was too scared to come down the way she'd gone up. :)

I love that she's sticking her tongue out at him. :)
The kids in the splash zone. I think my kids all moved away from there by the time the show started.
I was hoping one of the dolphins would jump up and touch the hanging ball. But none of them ever did. I was highly disappointed.

Sea Lion
Touching the baby turtle.
Week 4, Day 2, Thursday.
My parents, sisters, and I went to the temple together in the morning. Then the boys went golfing in the afternoon. My sisters took their kids to a pool. I stayed at the house with my kiddos so they could have naps after a busy day the day before.
Week 4 Day 3, Friday.
We went to Hukilau, Sunset, Matsumotos. It was a fun day.
Doug found a sand board (I think that's what it was) and tried to figure out how to use it. He wasn't very successful. :)
Kenna, Jack, Sam.
Nati, Shell.
Kimber.
Kenz and Jordan.
Surfer Kenzie.
Doug chased the kids while he boogie boarded.
I like him.
Jordan swimming.
Sunset:
I made Sam into a surfboard. ANd Jordan into one too, I think.
Nati and Shell became butterflies. Nati didn't want to sit for the picture though :).
Week 4 Day 4, Saturday.
This was the Crabtrees last day ( hopefully I can remember what happened the next few days without having Ashlee's blog to remind me) We to Hukilau. Celebrated Sam's 9th birthday. Had a girls' trip to Walmart.
I'm not sure why this picture was taken. But it makes me laugh :)
Jack
Doug and Colie.
Kenzie took a nap under the towel.
Michelle made these super cute skirts for all the girls. And my mom got them matching shirts. Kenzie loves her skirt and wears it often!
Kenna and Nati.
Kenna, Nati, and Kenzie wanted to see the pictures my mom had taken.
My dad playing Uno with the boys. Most of the time if I couldn't find Jordan he was downstairs in my parents room playing Uno with my dad. Jordan loved playing it and often convinced my dad to play.
Kimber and Sam loved watching the Disney Channel as much as they could when we were home.
Sam's party:
Week 4, Day 5. Sunday.
The Crabtrees left in the morning around the time the rest of us went to church. The rest of us spent the day at church, resting, and packing. Shell, her girls, Doug, and I walked to the end of the street to the ocean after my kids were in bed.
I think Jordan took this.
This was the view from our deck. Isn't it beautiful?
Week 4, Day 6, Monday
Our last full day in Hawaii. Without Ashlee there to make decisions, it took the rest of us awhile to figure out what to do. Should we just go to Huikilau? Or just Sunset? Or both? Should we go to Matsumoto's or not? I think we decided to just go to Sunset and then to Matsumoto's. We also ate out at McDonalds. My kids chose to have ice cream there instead of shave ice. Crazy kids :)
My mom bought my boys matching swim shorts. I bought them shirts to match.
Coleman's almost as big as Nati :)
Kenzie laid down under a towel again with her bink, but I don't think she actually slept this time.
Coleman loves eating.
Eat shave ice. I guess Jordan chose shave ice. Jack and Kenzie had ice cream though.
This was our house. And the Kenyon's convertible, our just as stylish, minivan, and my parents car. It was actually hard getting home and having to get used to a mini van that we had to open the door ourselves. Automatic doors are really nice :). It also took a little while to get used to no having a red van.
And that concludes are month in Hawaii. It was wonderful and fabulous and I wish it was July again. I still have to write about our trip home though. It was exciting enough that it deserves its own post.
