Piece of Paradise Part 3


Our last morning in Waikiki and made the most of it! The time difference was a killer not only on the kids but on the adults too. Here are some photos at our hotel room.
First stop: Showing Blake the Birds at the resort
 
Second Stop: The Beach....Blake haven't been to the beach because he was busy with work but now he's done and we can play tourist.
Third stop: North Shore...We stopped along the way at a park next to the beach and had fun swinging on the swings.
 Blake had to check the water and was rewarded with seeing a Honu but then it swam away.
We had to take some photos of the native birds of Hawaii

 Mynah Bird
Brazilian Cardinals
Fourth Stop: Turtle Beach and we were very fortunate to see a Honu beached on the beach...SUPER AWESOME!
 Stay tune to see our mornings on the beach from our rental in Laie.

You can't leave the beach unless you have built a sandcastle with a moat!!!!

Piece of Paradise Part 1

We took a family trip back to Oahu, Hawaii in April and had the time of our lives....Blake had to presents at a conference there and we joined him. He took Mya with him on another airline and the boys and I went another....Here are so photos of our adventure in traveling by air to Hawaii...the boys thought it was pretty cool to walk out and board the plane.
After a short wait at another airport, we finally boarded the plane that took us to Hawaii.
Pretty view from our airplane's window. (Nate took this shot.) The Boys wondered if they would ever arrive to Hawaii.
After 7 hours of traveling by air and 4 hours in waiting for our planes we finally arrived.
We are HERE!!!!!! We arrived to Paradise!
