Still had sleepy eyes but alert and ready! 
Keeping entertained on the plane with DVD's. Their favorite part was the landing. They both thought it was a fun ride!
We stopped on our way there at the Portland airport and had a few hours waiting for mark's family. Luckily they had a kid play area to keep the kids busy.
We arrived in Hawaii, got settled and then went to play at the playground next store.
This is just outside of our condo. I loved all the flowering trees/bushes, all different colors!
The "garden" view of the condo. There was a coy pond down below.
Here's the view from our back porch! I think we saw a rainbow everyday!!
Ready for the beach!!
Lilly loved the waves (as you can see)!!
And mucking in the sand
Hayden didn't like the waves, but found a nice spot to sun bathe!!
The swimming pool was a much easier/cleaner and Hayden would actually go in that water! They liked going down and putting their feet in.
View of the ocean
Found some blow holes!
And a heart in the rock!
Mark, Gary, Ryan and Colleen went golfing one day, so Judy and I took the kids to the aquarium. It was fun to see all the fish and the kids enjoyed seeing them and NOT getting wet!
There were a lot of interesting sea life to see. I thought these were kind of weird...just little worms that bury their tails in the ocean floor and eat whatever floats by!
Getting to see the turtles
We got to see a scuba diver feed the sting rays and sharks. He had on a microphone and taught all about the fish. Hayden thought it was so neat to see a diver and decided he wanted to be one too! 1st step...liking water!
Viewing the fish. We were in a tube that you could see on all sides.

One night we went to a luau. It was a lot of fun! They put on a whole show of hula dancing and fire juggling. The kids loved it!
Ready for the luau
Here is our table ready for food and show
Viewing the roasting pig
The uncovering of the pig

They invited people up to learn how to hula, so I went up with the kids. They did a pretty good job shaking their little bums and moving their arms!!
I couldn't get our video to down load, so will have to try again later, but here are the hula dancers.
One morning we went on a boat to see dolphins with Colleen and Ryan.....unfortunately we didn't see any, but we had a fun day walking around the town and seeing the banyon tree (a giant tree that takes up a whole block - it has a big trunk in the center and then has branches that go down and take root in the ground all over, so it looks like several different trees, but they are all actaully attached to one tree).
The kids and grandparents met up with us in the afternoon at "cheesburger in paradise"
While mark and his dad went scuba diving, Judy and I took the kids on the Sugar Cane Train. It was a short ride, but fun for the kids to hear the "choo choo" and see the steam.
Getting to see the steam shoot out the side of the engine. We even got sprayed a little bit.
Here is Myrtle the engine, but Hayden preferred to call him Thomas!
Pooped out after a busy day of snorkeling and playing on the beach. We saw a big sea turtle about 5 feet from us while we were snorkeling!
It must have been a good trip! Hayden slept quite a long time on the way home

After lots of playing and moving around from seat to seat, Lilly finally gave into sleep too!
We finally arrived back home at midnight last night!! Since it was a 3 hour difference the kids weren't too tired, but slept in until 10am this morning! We had a great time and hopefully will get to go back again someday!!
