Day #3

Today we were up bright and early at 5:30 am (can you say v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n?). We got up and got out the door early to get to Hanauma Bay for snorkeling. The thing is, just getting to Hanauma Bay is a lot of work! It was an hour drive, a long walk and an instructional video. Then we rented snorkeling gear, had potty stops and finally set up camp at the bay. Its crazy how many climates we can experience in a few hour stretch: sunny & rainy, cloudy & windy, cold & rainy, hot & sunny, and the list goes on and on.

The kids had a lot of meltdowns at first....but we got into a good groove and ended up having a great time! We saw lots of fish, played in the sand....and no one got sunburned. High fives to us!

This is the view from our time share!

This is how we get lunch made for everyone!

Aren't we a cute family?

All ten of us!

It was great when the tears finally stopped and the playing began!

Tucker was very pleased that Jordyn was willing to try snorkeling! She did snorkle for a while, until a very large colorful fish swam right infront of her mask. She jumped up and into Tucker's arms, saying, "I'm done, Daddy, hold me." Tucker was quite amused.

Peyton took a nap on the beach (all of 20 minutes).

Beth and I keep discussing how much work it is to have these cute babies on our trip. It makes it quite different, but we wouldn't have it any other way!

My little Lexi Lou!

Can you see all of the colorful fish that swam with us today? Twards the end of the day all of us stood out in the water and let them to come to us. This was fun for some, but Lexi wanted NOTHING to do with it. She was in our arms and wouldn't even put her toes back in.
