Hawaii in March part 1

We had a wonderful family vacation in Hawaii

Beautiful Hawaiian coastline 
The kids brought their scooters and we did morning exercise walks/scoots

Always ready to climb 
We spent most of this trip at Lagoon 3 in Ko'Olina 





Playing at the Kroc Center
Meme and Papa John joined the Salvation Army's Kroc center and they have a fun swimming pool area.  The kids also took swimming lessons

Corben's thoughts on growing old...

Corben brought this home from school. 
Love his attitude on growing old and I really love the picture he drew!
