Fun climbs and trips to the beach.

We have successfully climbed both Diamond Head and Makapu'u Point.  Lucas never complains and just loves the challenge.  Eli did the Makapu'u climb in the stroller because it was so close to nap time and he was CRANKY!! But he still enjoyed it.  Eli just hits a wall sometimes.  We have been hitting the beaches too.  Lucas has been boogie boarding quite a bit.  There was a big southern swell this week which made for some big surf and Lucas handled it very well.  We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center and enjoyed the shows.  The boys love the hula girls even though they won't admit it. 
Today we went to The Kahala for brunch and visited the beach there.  This is where Jose and I got married so we check everything out every trip here.  Lucas met a friend there from Australia and we spent the entire day playing at the beach.  I rented a kayak and took the boys out one at a time.  We sure did have fun but missed Daddy the whole time.

At the top of Diamond Head!!

Looking into Diamond Head crater.  Lucas is pointing at the tunnel that we drive through....he loves it.

Climbing to Makapuu point.  I love this picture because it shows Eli throwing a fit over having a picture made...

My little Lucas on the way up...

Makapuu Point!  It is so beautiful!

The boys on the top!

A leisurely afternoon hitting some waves...

Eli trying to take his hat off....priceless..I could just squeeze him.

The waves were too big for Eli to manage on his own so we played in the shallow surf.

The boys reaction to a show at the PCC.  Island man make fire...

He was pretty funny....the boys think this is so cool and are constantly trying to make fire with 2 sticks.

Seashell searching.

Eli actually looks at the camera sometimes!!!!

We must have the yearly photo at the spot where Jose and I got married almost 8 years ago!

Papaw and Lucas swam out to the floating island at The Kahala.
