Turkey Tastes Better in Hawaii

1/24/2014

0 Comments

 
Well, anything in Hawaii, just is, BETTER! Maybe it's something in the air, or the water, or maybe it's just... paradise! Yeah, that's it! sigh.... (closing my eyes and pretending the sounds of Santa Monica Boulevard traffic are rushing waves washing over the beautiful, warm, sandy beach...) oh, sorry!! Anyway... I should have done this entry, oooohhh, maybe, at least a month ago, but things are always fun and crazy, so I'm just now getting to it! (SORRY LANDON!! I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!) 
We are so lucky to be able to spend another Thanksgiving with our Hawaii family! This time, we spent a lavish 10 days in paradise, giving us plenty of time to see all our friends, and family and still having time to ourselves! Definitely one of the best trips back so far!
We were very lucky (a HUGE thank you to special family members ;)) to stay at the Marriott, Waikiki for the first couple days! This is where most of our "just us" time was spent, and it was HEAVENLY!

Our hotel view day/night = AMAZING! Wouldn't mind spending forever here!
The beginning of our trip involved some amazing beach time, visiting the zoo, and yummy dinners with family!

We had breakfast at the ever famous "Mac 24/7". It was fun to get the challenge pancakes! I don't think these pictures show how large those things were!

Laine does some dramatics to show our experience of eating these delicious pancakes. OH BOY, they were YUMMY!!!

Paddling tour

The day after Thanksgiving, the guys did a paddling tour in Hawaii Kai. Apparently it was really fun and very educational! The guys loved it and we recommend it to anyone up for a physical challenge while being educated about the Hawaiian culture!

Working hard that last stretch in!

We mustache you to check out Keane's 2nd Birthday Party ;)

Keane's 2nd birthday was Sunday so we decided to have a fun chin-dig with friends and family while we were in town! We had reserved a great pool area at the local recreation center with kids play yard and basketball courts! Just perfect for Keane and his friends! Well, it poured rain the entire day. The pool was closed because of the storm, and we were forced to squeeze our party on a 900 sq.ft. covered lanai while we all listened to the down pour around us! Although my vision of this fun day were initially crushed, the party was a huge success! The kids had fun playing some indoor table games and coloring, while the adults were enjoying some relaxing conversation! But most importantly, Keane was hugely blessed and had a GREAT time with friends and family.

Our Valentine's day was pretty chill! We busted out Keane's present as soon as we woke up! Laine couldn't wait to give Keane his first ever basketball hoop!! The cool thing is ever since Keane started walking, he's loved bouncing balls! Now he can practice setting a new baby world record of baskets ;)

Anyway, we chilled for the rest of the day. Laine had to work, so Keane and I made him some valentine's to give when he got home. We went to the park came home and had dinner, a movie and fresh homemade cookies! Sounds like a perfect day to us!!

Now, a fun little Friends clip. *sigh** I miss my Friends... hint, hint****

A special Valentine's Day wish to our family in Hawaii! We miss you guys so much!! Grandma Faye, Grandpa Ken, Uncle Bren, Auntie Linz, Cousin Landon, we love you guys and wish we could celebrate together. We hope you have a blessed day!!

We took a little family day while Linds, Lan, and Bren were here to go to Hurricane Harbor! Keane's first time in the swimming pool!! He hated it!! lol!! The water is actually pretty cold and he was so uncomfortable in the life vest they made him wear in some of the pools. But, we still enjoyed the time there! It was so fun. Made me feel like a little kid at the water park!
