Summer travels...Thoughts of Hawaii

We had a fabulous time in Hawaii and since it was no extra cost in airfare to stop there on our way to Japan, I figured we might as well since the kids have never been there and they give us grief when we go.  Might have been a mistake since they loved it so much!
Loved bodysurfing/waves and spent hours in the ocean
Khalif walking out into the street in front of two cars and Ainsley saving him
Crappy hotel but nice view
Eating Safeway food and loving it-chicken strips
Smells in the hotel 
Valet parking
Loved looking at the turtles 
Kids trip to ABC store by themselves and starting a load of laundry 
Seeing the manta rays and blow hole
Cats and mongoose everywhere at Hanauma Bay (only one friendly cat)
Waiamanalo beach, peaceful and quiet, but Jellyfish!  Khalif got stung first and then Ainsley but hers was not nearly as bad
Feeding the fish bread and snorkeling with those crazy fish
Playing the game floppy fish
Surfing-easier than expected 
Beauty of Hawaii/sunset/blue water
Wrong turn and grumpy mom
Warm rain while getting ready to surf
Warm ocean 
No need for a pool 
Glass elevator 
The lagoon (crowded beaches in Waikiki)
Long waterway and people canoeing 
Stressful trip to the airport....made it only five minutes before boarding
Being awoken out of a dead sleep on the plane by Khalif who waited too long to get to the bathroom and was running in place while waiting in line, but thankfully made it. 
In awe that every seat had their own t.v.  Flights were a piece of cake!





 Jellyfish sting on Khalif's leg
Bodysurfing!
Manta rays and blowhole
Trying to bodysurf!
Surfing

Amazing turtles
