Lagoons....Hale'iwa...

Today we started the morning beachin' it at Ko'Olina Lagoons...Corben was still asleep when we arrived, so he went on a walk with Papa John while Mommy & Meme relaxed in the water.

Hale'iwa

Then we drove to North Shore and stopped at Hale'iwa for garlic shrimp at Giovanni's

and shave ice at Matsumoto.

We then came home and made a cement tile of Corben's footprint and handprint to hang at Papa John & Meme's house.

Ended our day with a fun SPLASH bath!

Best part of the day...Corben has been talking....he says "hi"
Corben also says "ut oh" when he drops something!!

Driving around the island and Waikiki beach day

Today was a rainy day, so we drove to different parts of the island to see some of our favorite spots. First we drove to Pali Hwy lookout, Papa John and Mommy got out and enjoyed the view while Corben slept. Then we drove to Kailua and Lanikai beach, beautiful beaches!!- but it was raining. So then we drove to Waikiki Beach. Here are some pictures from Waikiki beach.

Looking at all the fish and big rays...no fish in the photo, I know???

their first time meeting Corben.

Ko'Olina Lagoons

Started our day off with a swing on Papa John & Meme's lanai...then off to the beach!
Corben loved the water today and actually pointed to it as soon as he saw the water. Papa John & Meme gave him this rash guard shirt (UV protection)...

I know the outfit doesn't match at all, but we were protecting against the sun!! My favorite place for a day at the beach while in Hawaii...Ko'Olina Lagoons...ahhh!!!

Mommy and Corben floating in the water...Corben stayed in the water about an hour.
Taking a dip in the water. Too cute, just floating in the water
