Hawaii-Day 4

Molokai

We took a little 9-seater plane to Molokai. Oh yeah, I was freaking out. I don't particularly like to fly, and then to put me on a teenie tiny plane, I thought for sure we wouldn't make it. But, to my surprise, it wasn't too bad. We could see so much from from the plane. We took some neat pictures from the sky. When we landed, Mike's mom, Tom and Robert were there to greet us. It was a beautiful "little" island. We just drove around and checked it out. We didn't do too much this day. We went and visited with MIke's mom at her condo and she fed us a spaghetti dinner. We went to the amazingly small grocery store and bought milk, bread, juice and few other things. Boy, I don't know how they feed a family on that island. The price for a gallon of MILK was $9.99. You could buy 5 gallons here in good ole Cedar City. But, we made do. The prices are horrendous for everything on that island, but the beauty is worth it. I for one couldn't live there, because I feel so claustrophobic with all that water surrounding me.

This picture was taken on Mike's mom's balcony. Looks like it should be on a postcard...so pretty!

Hawaii - Day 3

Polynesian Cultural Center
This was my favorite day.  I absolutely love the Polynesian Cultural Center.  We had so much fun!  We had a wonderful tour guide who took us to all the islands and made sure we got to see every little inch.  He did a great job!  We didn't get to do the luau, but the food was still delish.  The show at the end of the night was the highlight of the day.  I'm so grateful to have been able to take the kids to see such a wonderful place.

Lexie, Chloee, Mom, and Shayley We all got tatoos done...they were fun, but didn't last too long!

Hawaii-Day 2

Hawaii - Day 2

HONOLULU ZOO

Well, this was the day we were supposed to take the kids to Pearl Harbor, but we didn't get there quick enough and all the tickets for the day were gone. So, we decided to take the kids to the ZOO. This was a good idea. They saw animals and reptiles that they had never seen before. We spent all afternoon there. After that, we went back to the hotel and rested for a bit, then we were off to meet Dawn's parents. We ate dinner and visited till it got late, then headed back to the hotel. It was a really fun day, just wish the kids would've gotten the chance to see Pearl Harbor. Oh well...next time!!!

Dawn and Robert Lexie I just couldn't help but post it!!!
