Through Their Eyes

A few days ago Jana & Greg flew out to the island with the boys.

What a treat to have them here.  This was Quincy & Collin's first time in a plane.  Their first time at the beach too... and they are on CLOUD NINE!

They LOVED Bellows as their first beach!  Boogie boarding was their favorite.

Uncle Mike teaching them how to catch a wave!

Quincy even let us bury him in the sand!

A little beach buttcrack was enjoyed by all... 

And some serious sand castle building was attempted... The boys have yet to grasp the concept of building their castle away from where the tide would roll in and immediately destroy it.  But they were quite innovative in their ways of trying to stop it... 

Sisters! 

Mike taking a rest on the boogie boards!

The boys came to church with us!  This is how much Quincy loved our primary class -

Haha!! At this point there was some serious exhaustion going on here.  Either that or our lesson was boring.  

The boys were dying to get pineapple ice cream at the Dole Plantation and do the Pineapple maze!  We had fun racing through the maze to try and find all the items on the checklist!

Collin kept finding little secret cheater pathways to get through to find the clues faster... these small gaps were significantly more difficult for Jana and I to fit through but we made it! 

Finally... the long awaited pineapple sherbet arrived... 

And it was enjoyed by all!! 

Some Hibiscus flowers I saw at the plantation.. I just love these flowers.  They are so beautiful. 

Today we spent a lot of time at Hickam Beach renting Kayaks!! Mike and I went on one kayak with Collin in the middle and Jana & Greg took Quincy... We watched for crabs along the rocks and enjoyed paddling by the runway there at Hickam Beach!

The boys were ready to jump right into the water!! 

These were their Hawaiian Warrior poses... 

We were lucky enough to even see a Navy submarine surface!  After awhile we were ready to come back in and get some sunbathing in -

We enjoyed having Mike here one last day before he left tonight for the Big Island for work.  We are all really sad that he had to leave in the middle of this vacation : ( He is the life of the party! 

Love this man!

We have had a ball having the boys and it has been especially refreshing to see the island lifestyle through their eyes.
