Sunday, November 18, 2007

It was a rough night of sleep with the boys waking up a couple of times in the middle of the night. Timothy perked up with an enthusiastic, "Hi", while RJ followed by answering, "Good Morning". Teena was so tired and needed a minute to wake up. Ryan made the kids some blueberry waffles and Teena went for a morning run, this time on the road. Ryan took the boys over to Lola & Lolo's again for daily breakfast. The kids enjoyed going there to be with their cousins. We had planned the night before that we were all going to snorkel at Honolua Bay and that we would leave the resort around 8:00am. While waiting for everyone to be ready, the kids decided to climb the tree outside of Lola & Lolo's room and then head over to the pool / hot tub for a morning swim. RJ decided that he was hungry again, so we decided it would be a good idea to stop at McDonalds on the way to Honolua Bay. As it turns out, we never made it to Honolua Bay, but instead, stopped at Mokule'ia Bay, since it had stair access.




Mokule'ia Bay was a great little beach to spend the day, not to mention that it is absoultely beautiful! The boys enjoyed playing in the sand and all the kids enjoyed playing in the waves. Mom (Lola) even enjoyed watching the kids play on the beach. Marnie & James decided to go snorkeling first. Followed by Ryan & Michael. Dad (Lolo) joined them next and Rosanna, Gary, Nico, Kiana & Briana decided to turn back and never made it out.



When the first group of snorkelers came back, Ryan insisted that Teena go too, but she wasn't about to go without him. So Nico & Kiana decided to give it another shot, this time with Ryan & Teena, while Timothy took his nap and RJ played with his cousins on the beach. Everyone enjoyed their snorkeling adventures until we all got a little hungry. We headed back to the resort and had some lunch. Ryan decided that he didn't have enough time to go kitesurfing, so he decided to go surfing for a little while before our 5:30 dinner at Leilani's on the Beach, hosted by the Picardi family.

While Ryan was out surfing, the boys took their naps and when they woke up wanted to play with Colin & Christian. So we opened up the doors to our rooms and let the kids play between the 2 rooms. Marnie made Teena a really strong Margarita and we had a great time waiting to leave for the restaurant.


We arrived at dinner just in time to enjoy a beautiful sunset. The food was excellent and everyone had another wonderful dinner. Since it was still early, we decided to walk around and go through some of the shops at Whaler's Village.
