Starting the year in Paradise

What a way to start 2018!!! Fireworks over Aulani, in beautiful Hawaii.
 

There is a manmade reef on the property. It is visible from a window viewpoint.

We reserved a time and got to snorkeling in the reef.

The kids all did well, and we got to see the fish from a different view.

The lagoon waves were tiny - but big enough to give surfing a little shot! The uncles would give a little extra momentum, and the little kids could ride the wave!




As usual, Kate and Adele found lots of time to spend with each other. Those girls LOVE spending time together.

We did get some time a few times with just the adults - that was so relaxing, for sure!

The sunsets in Aulani are spectacular! We enjoyed our time in paradise!

We spent countless hours at the beach and in the water.


And the view was always spectacular!





As much time as we spent at the beach, we loved the pool just as much. There was a big waterslide that the kids (and some of the adults) went on over and over!

One of the activities was to design, decorate, and build a boat.


After we built the boats, we took them to the lagoon to see how they performed.



We took a little ukulele class and learned a couple cords.


We got daily wrist bands - some people collected and kept all of them on for as long as they could as a reminder of the wonderful time we had.

The whole cousins crew from the front

and from the back (with their drawstring backpacks)
