A House Full of Fun...

A few weeks ago we had quite the house full of family. We got word a few months ago that Jasons Grandma and Aunt Gina had planned a trip out here to Hawaii. So we talked Valerie and Marc to come out as well (Jasons parents). Tickets were a pretty good price so Jasons sister Tressa and her husband TJ decided to come out too. Thats right...we had a total of 8 people in our one bedroom apartment. It was a bit hectic at times, but so fun to be all together and have them here! 
Some of the highlights included:
--Dinner at Haliewa Eats & Sunset at Keikiks
--We had a blast riding scooters around the Honolulu/Waikiki area. --we'll have to get more of those from Valerie)
This ones for you Kristin...note the helmet. =]


Jason & His mom, Valerie

--Pearl Harbor
Marc & Valerie.

A late lunch with a beautiful view after touring Peal Harbor.
Tressa & TJ. Overlooking Hanauma Bay.

--The Blowhole on the East Side. 

--Hiked to the Lighthouse.
We did it!  Grandma Cleora, at 82 years old, and myself, at 35 weeks pregnant, made it to the top. 
The view at the top is gorgeous...
But she wasnt too impressed with the finale. 
Ha ha. 

--Polynesia Cultural Center.

Waiting for the Night Show to start...Jason, Gina, Grandma Cleora and Valerie

All of us with our Tattoos..Michelle, Gina, Tressa, TJ & Jason.

--Shark Diving, only some of us did that...Marc, Valerie, Jason, TJ & Tressa. The rest of us,
Gina, Cleora & I went to Sharks Cove for some snorkeling.
--Beach Day!
--Baby Shower 
--The ladies hiked up to Waimea Falls while the men snorkeled and played at Waimea Bay.

It was So great to have them all here with us in Hawaii! It gave us a chance to play tourist one last time before the baby comes and as our time here comes to an end.
