Last Day in Hawaii

 

  

Last day is always the saddest day, but we made it count!

Trying all the flavors of pie at Teds Bakery!

Sharks Cove for some snorkeling.

Rusty is anti water shoes and didn't bring his.
 But didn't want to tear up his feet. 
Not sure which is more embarrassing?
Wearing his water sandals, or his moms?  

We jumped in the party van to save time finding 3 parking spaces at Waimea Bay.

The water was STRONG this day!

The kids building a moat, which saved our bacon more than once!

Best of the best drink when in Hawaii!

Stephanie and I were minding our own business, chatting and relaxing on boogie boards.
Out of nowhere the waves wanted to kill us!

It was crazy!

It swept away our boogie boards and kept pounding us with montser waves!

At one point a rag dolled so bad under the water, once I got up for air

I was running out of there!

All done!

Picture perfect sunset shot to complete the trip.

Just wish Lane could have been with us!

The twins even complied to get in a picture with their mom!
A vacation miracle.

We hit up the food trucks by the PCC this night.

Of course getting one of everything.

On the hunt for the best shaved ice to the very end!

Swimming, then Grammy being gracious enough to let them dog pile on her bed!

Then causing all kinds of ruckus having races down the halls.

The next morning we were back on the plane heading back home!

I think the Goodmans need to hit every Hawaiian island together!!

Snorkeling Day!

 

Half of the crew had flown home by now, so the rest of us
went to see the fishies on a snorkeling excursion!

This is the dock filmed in 50 First Dates where the kids do flips into the water!
That is one of my favorite movies, so I was geeking!

Getting on our boat!

We docked on a sandbar where we swam around and played volleyball!

We ate grilled hamburgers as we drove to our next spot to snorkel!

I believe this is my kids first legit time to snorkel.

So sad that I don't know this information, lol!

Away they go!

Rewarded with hot chocolate on the way back to the dock!

We were definitely not cold, but when in Rome or being offered....

 

This was on my list of things to try while in Hawaii, and luckily on our way

to our next destination! 

Probably my favorite treat the whole time we were there!

Fluffy sugar pillows straight from heaven I tell ya!

SOOOO GOOOD.

We stopped in Haleiwa for some Matsumoto shaved ice.

Unpopular opinion, I don't get the hype.
Their syrups are terrible.

But I LOVE this little North Shore town!

Their shops are the best and I love the vibe of it all.

I love these progression pictures of walking to the Rainbow bridge.

Heads forward until the motorcycle popped a wheelie....

...then all heads turned to watch him.

Jera and Jada were the only brave ones to jump the bridge.
I guess the tide was low and they touched the bottom.

Saw my only turtle!

S

I was also pumped to snag a Banzai Bowl!!
My favorite acai bowl of all time!
