Ko'Olina Lagoon Days

Papa John got a new small surf board and the kids had fun playing on it 



Mason, our adventurous one, loved trying to stand 
Hands are always out and up with Mason, no holding on for her.

Relaxing in the sand and water 

Venturing pretty far out....they went in as soon as they saw a turtle 



Seeing sea turtles never gets old to me....love them! 



a few more times in their inner tubes

anything brother does....Mason is right behind him doing the same thing and watching him at all times! 

Cute beach girl 

They love being in the water and playing in the sand with Papa John 

Caleb and I jogging and hiking

Jogged to a beautiful part of the west loch of Pearl Harbor 

Gorgeous sunrise 

Climbed his first palm tree! 
Dad's beautiful plumeria 
Tropical rain forest in Manoa
hiked to Manoa Falls 
They were redoing part of the path, so we had to venture through the bamboo.  
The muddiest we have seen Manoa path 
Gorgeous 150 foot Manoa Falls
They made this viewing part below the falls, great improvements to our favorite waterfall hike.

Hawaii Children's Discovery Center & Girl's Day

Papa John and Caleb took the kids to the Discovery Center
They got to dress up and play out many professions!
Such a fun place!! 
Nurse hard at work 
Writing prescriptions 

Glad they had a nursery for her to take care of the babies like mommy! 
Tuk-Tuk transport (like a taxi cab in India) 
Pretend eating, Japanese style 
Working on cars, changing tires and changing the oil 
Dressed up like firemen! 
Corben insisted that the Dalmatian Dog sit between them as they drove.
Mom and I having High Tea in China Town and then pedicures!
We got to dress up with hats...so fun! 
Yummy food and tea! 

Then we went to the Hawaii Quilt Show where Mom is showing a beautiful quilt.  
This might be one of my favorite quilts that she has made.
Beautifully done Mom! 

Rainbows and H3 waterfalls





This trip we saw rainbows every single day!!!
What a glorious sight and gift from God! 


Lots of rain and waterfalls off the H3 mountains 

The sun was starting to set on the west side over the mountains
