Home For Now

Getting ready to go shopping shopping shopping in Hawaii
A view from our balcony
Another view from the balcony w/Diamond Head behind the buildings
A big WOW from Mikayla's first balcony view of Hawaii
Already relaxing and getting ready to swim
She was lost without her tag-a-long pup so she now has a
tag-a-long turtle...both pup and turtle's names are Mikayla...yes Mikayla
Her first play at the beach she hated it you can see
Sand was yukky but yet she did not want to leave
Para-sailing in Hawaii !?!
Going for some amusement and good food
Washing before eating
In the Village by a water fall at night
Pics from the Night Luau
Another from the Luau...see the videos clips below
I think this was the slowest hoola I guess cause the middle girl had the shortest shell hoola shirt ever.
More hoola dancing
Yes, the men danced too.
Most romantic hoola dance
It was amazing how fast they change and are constantly moving
More dancing
Meeting and talkin with the dancers


She was not sure of this guy who was the biggest guy there and also the most tattooed

Home Kellie shows Mikayla some moves
A pose of her own playing dress up

Hawaii was a blast. The weather was great and we took many pictures. The taking of many pictures is part of the reason it has taken me so long to post....I can not decide what pictures to share as there are way to many to share them all. As you know we did a lot of shopping and we also spent time at the Beach, the Lagoon and the pools. We went to the Waikiki Luau and watched the Luau at the pool in the Village and enjoyed some fireworks they had. We walked around the village and took in the sights and just plain enjoyed the Hawaii sunshine. We have now settled back in to our daily routines and Mikayla and Kellie have been having fun playing. They played dress up and Kellie was teaching Mikayla how to strike a pose. They had a blast. Mommy has already been talking to Santa and he has packed a few things away for Mikayla already he said there is only one more gift he wants to get her and he will have her taken care of. Just in case anyone was wondering Mikayla is in size 24 months right now and they fit fine except some pants fall off and some sleeves are too long depending on the brand. The pants length and everything else fits perfect so 24 months will be good for this winter only. She is also ready for Snow and Germany with her winter coat, snow boots, hat and gloves. All she needs is a sleigh for the boys to take her around on. :) We did go visit Santa twice this weekend already in two different malls and she is still having no part of him. This does not surprise me as she does not seem to care for any man that has a lot of facial hair. The Santa she was tormented by last year will be the same one we will hope to get her to sit with this year for those who missed that bawling pic I am sure we will have another. I am picking the Santa from last year for this venture for two reasons...maybe she wont find HIM so scary and this one always gives her a big gift when she goes to sit with him (better incentive then most). Well I don't have much excitement planned for a while we will venture to mom J's on my birthday but other than that we will be playing at home unless we find some other fun to get into. Catch you all later...hope you enjoy the Hawaii pics and the video from the Luau.
This first video is a dance so to speak that they do to protect their tribes/scare strangers from the tribe. The next is just one of the dances with the men alone also for protection....then there is the next one which is a small snip-it of a larger one. The last video was Mikayla by the bar having a blast dancing to the live band they had there.

Okay Okay

Had a bit of rain this morning but I must admit there was no relaxing today we did more shopping and walking the Village Shops and the Mall. It became sunny and was hot and humid and I am thinking a massage or at least a foot massage is definitely going to be in order. Mikayla is having a blast and walking just as much. I think I walked off the 20 lbs but problem being I think I just ate it back on. Still enjoying the trip and the food why change things now. Hope to get some beach/lagoon/pool time in tomorrow and entertainment from dinner at Bennihana's. So I hope to get some pics to share then and later. Got to go get my puppies up so I will share more later. Blessings AJ
