Hawaii - Oahu - Ko'Olina

Les and Kathy were nice enough to let us tag along to Hawaii this year!!  We spent a week at their time share in Ko'Olina, one of Oahu's new resort areas.  We had a great time!! The weather was nice, just a few brief rain storms.  The room was big enough to fit us all, the pool right next to our building was perfect for the kids, and the man-made lagoons made for some fun beach days too!  Every afternoon during nap time I was lucky enough to have some mommy-time at the pool and it didn't hurt that it was also happy hour!!  Katha came with us and was a huge help and really enjoyed her Hawaii time.  We made a lot of yummy meals at home and Matt, Les, Kathy, and I got to go out to a fancy dinner at Monkeypod!  Delicious.  Here are some pictures from our trip.

 

  This was our favorite swimming spot.

 That's the Disney Resort next door. 

 This resort had free DVD rentals.  It was awesome.  The kids got free movie time whenever they wanted.  

 The North Shore.

 The lagoon was great for kiddos.

 Paul got to go up for the kid show with the Chief.

 Grandma Kathy got some fresh coconut juice.

Every morning the babies would wake up SUPER early.  Well, Will would wake up at the normal time in Washington and then all the kids would be awake because they were all in the same room.  I was up anyways, so I would take the kids out for a walk and breakfast so everyone else could sleep.  Maybe my favorite time of the days.  Our Morning Walk. 

 Olivia maybe could have used some more sleep.

 Will was a little freaked out by a human sized mouse.  In board shorts. 

 Guess who refused to be in my picture??!!  Hint: It wasn't Matt.
