Hawaii Trip part 2

Hey two blog entries in one day :D This is how I play catchup and start sharing my pictures quickly. :) Here are some more beautiful Hawaii pictures to share.

Our view at breakfast after church....not bad. :)

We took this amazing drive through the rain forest...you opened your window and it sounded like you were on the Jungle Boat Ride at Disneyland. :D

Jake and I at the top of Round Top

Family Pic at the top of Round Top...that is Waikiki Beach in the background.

Ryan and Ric...can you tell these two are trouble when they are together???

This was our view from our table (with Emily enjoying the fish)...yeah awesome restaurant with an aquarium in it...the kids were thrilled, and us adults were a little excited too :)

Now many thought we were nuts but we went on a few hikes while we were there, with 4 adults and 4 kids under age 3. hehe Each of us had a kid strapped on us ( I have a picture of all of us on another computer...will have to post that one later), but we still had a blast and the kids were all great.

Ryan, Jake, little Matt and I at Inspiration Point (University of Hawaii Arboretum)

Jake did so well on the hike, but fell asleep right before reaching the little waterfall.

It was warm, rainy and the kids were falling asleep...so we were glad to make it. :D

On this day we went to "Dog Beach" which was great because it was really shallow and allowed Jake to get comfortable. So he and his Daddy are checking it out.

Checking out some cool coral.

Our own private beach.

Jake got really brave here, even crawled in all by himself. (I have a video of this that I will post later) This is when we started calling him "surfer baby."

Jake really enjoyed playing with the sand toys at the beach.

Jake and Emily hanging out in the water and having a great time.

Stay tuned for the next installment which includes a trip to a waterfall that we swam in. :D
