These 3 kids have been waiting for over 3 years for their trip to Hawaii! When Cami was 8, my parents started a tradition (whether they meant to or not ;) to take a batch of their grandkids to Hawaii once they've turned 8. And Now... it was their turn. They were beyond excited!
On the airplane for their 6 hour flight
Oahu!
Enjoying their hot tub at their vacation spot
Surfer dude!
Basking in the sun ;)
Gorgeous
Sand, Ocean, and tropical sunsets... that's paradise :) Plus no school for a week!
A Masterpiece
Pondering with Grandpa... Boy time. They were a little outnumbered this trip ;). But I was told Alex was so good to his girl cousins

At Haunama Bay
They got pretty good at snorkeling and saw an turtles, lots of fish, and an eel!
Upon going to Hawaii, they were planning on going to the Polynesian Cultural Center for a good culture experience, but my parents took them to Pearl Harbor instead. I was actually glad they did. This place should never be forgotten!

And then they got their Polynesian experience at a local Luau. Alex thought the fire dance was pretty awesome :)
Now these are snow cones!!
Buried alive ;0)
Thank you Mom and Dad for giving these kids such wonderful memories. What an experience for them!
They loved every bit. Aloha Hawaii!
