Polynesian Cultural Center

 We saw and learned lots of things on our visit to the PCC. Lots of fire!

 Climbing trees.

 Fire making.

 So cute to see all the cousins playing traditional games together.

 A different game.

 Posing with a native. E was just a little hesitant.

 Of course we had to learn to hula!

 A little ride around the lake.

 It may have turned into a race with the other canoe.

The day ended with a delicious luau and show.

More Hawaii Fun

 What's a trip to the beach without getting buried in the sand?! 

 E was happy to sit still for this.

 He could have sat there all day in the sand.

 D was a little mermaid the whole trip.

 Famous Matsumoto shaved ice! So Yummy!!

 A few more family pictures. The siblings and their spouses.

 All the kids running down the beach.

 A little visitor in the house.

 I love to see the temple! Our stake primary was told if they could touch the temple then it would touch them so it was great to take them to the temple while we there.

A, grandma and I went inside to do some work for family names that A found. It was such a great experience!

Sand Bar

 One of our most favorite things we did on our trip was take some kayaks out to a sand bar in the middle of the ocean. We were lucky enough to leave E with the rest of the family.

 We had to paddle pretty far out but it was so worth it! When we got there we just laid around resting.

 Then we ran around playing tag and such. We had so much fun!

 We brought a picnic lunch with us so we used the kayaks as a table and enjoyed the view. 

 Then we did a little more exploring and snorkeling on our way back. We saw a turtle and an eel.

 Just amazing!

 We tired miss D out.

 Post kayaking picture of C.

 A and

 B.

One of me too. It really was such a great day!

Easter in Hawaii

 Easter in Hawaii isn't too bad:) Where we stayed had an amazing yard so it made it really fun for the the kids to do their egg hunt.

 E loved being in the yard every chance he got.

 This is the house we rented for my whole family to stay in. (Yes we are spoiled!)

Looks like C is having a hard time finding what he's looking for.

 B finding the hard ones.

 A's getting all the eggs that have the beautiful sunrise in sight.

 Such beautiful mornings from the back yard.

 A walk on the beach whenever you wanted.

 My brother was so kind to treat us to a very nice Easter Brunch and egg hunt. I couldn't think of a better way to spend Easter than with family in this amazing place.

 Loving life with cousins and sun all day long.

 Just a little exhausted from all the activities.

What would a family trip be without a puzzle?!
