Monday PCC

On Monday we headed to the Polynesian Cultural Center. We met up with the whole gang.....there was us Grandma Jody, Grandpa Rich, Nana, Papa, Aunt Lisa, Dave, Heidi, Nicole, Jason, Jack, Kari, Jon, Kasey, Jessica, David and Taylee. TWENTY of us. It was such a fun time. It is such a cool place and the kids had a ton of fun wandering around looking at all the Hawaiian villages. The highlight was definitely the end of the night at the big show.....the boys LOVED the fire dancers.

The pictures are refusing to upload so I will have to add the rest later.
In one of the villages they gave you a ukulele lesson. SAwyer was in heaven with the mini guitar and was super ticked when it was time to move on....think screaming lots of screaming.



Noah and Jessica in front of a huge ship similar to what was used to travel back and forth among the islands. Jessica is so great with the little ones.

HUla hula....Jeff even tried. It was so funny I wish I could get the video to upload.




POY....YUCK. Noah has the worst gag reflex he almost threw up luckily I had some trail mix in my bag.


This guy was about to get the pig out of the ground to take to one of the luau's.


Jeff got one of these yummy pina colada's when we came here six years ago on our honeymoon. And had to have on again. THe boys loved it!


Best villages....Tattoos Noah loved getting the tattoo, watching the guy climb the tree and of course playing with fire. Sawyer it was all about the mini guitar.

Hawaii Day One and Two......

I know who blogs from Vacation right? Well Jeff has promised me that I get to print my blog off at the end of the year so for journaling purposes I can't remember anything and since I left my real journal at home...whoops! So feel free to totally ignore these next few posts I won't be at all offended.

We left Early early Saturday morning and headed up LAX. We made it to Irvine and well I realized that I had left my wallet at home...in my defense I had my entire bag packed and Jeff took my wallet out of my purse the night before to check us in online and he left it next to the computer. See not entirely my fault. So we turned around luckily I checked in Irvine and not in LA or we would have all missed our flight. Once we made it we headed to the terminal....security is horrible and I can't even imagine what would have happened had we had Ryder...AH it would have been a nightmare. We barely made it through security and grabbed a bite to eat and then we hoped on the plane for a about 6 hours.

Noah and Jeff....making one last phone call before the plane takes off.

Me and Sawyer. The boys where so great on the plane. They were so excited to be on the "hairpane".


Delta is the greatest airline. They have TV's on each seat and you get to choose from different movies/tv shows plus tons of games. Seriously it was a life saver. The boys got to enjoy some movies and we didn't even have to break out the DVD players. Sawyer loved Madagascar 2 or "move it move it" as he calls it.

After we arrived we ate some yummy lunch and then headed to Target to pick up some essentials before checking into the hotel. And then it was off to the pool.

Jeff's favorite thing to do in Hawaii is snorkel. He loves to go out and look at the fish.


View of the hotel from the beach. It is such a cool place.


Sawyer was a little weary of the water.

Noah has become a little fish. I like that he will wear his life jacket so I worry a little less. But he is getting in a lot of practice.


The boys playing in the sand. They are having such a blast!


Tomorrow the PCC with Heidi, Dave and their gang! ALOHA!!
