The playground in front of our house has been closed for a full year and it finally re-opened today! Woohoo!! The neighborhood kids are so happy.
First Day of School Part 2
After a whole year of remote learning, it’s the First Day of In-person School!! Yaaaaay! Peanut finally gets to attend Amelia Earhart School and see his teacher and classmates in person. It will be abbreviated but still worth the trouble.
With the different start and end times, we made arrangements for Janie to ride her bike to school with Maya, her older brother, and some other 5th graders. She was super excited about that.
Peanut also rode his bike to school with Mama and Dada. This is similar to how we walked KK to school on her first day of Kindergarten.
When we arrived, we took a couple photos and then went to the gate to meet his teacher, Ms. Wells. They all lined up 6 feet apart and then walked into the classroom together. So cute.
Here’s a side-by-side of Janie and Peanut’s first day of Kindergarten. So similar but so different at the same time.
Kung Fu
The grass was wet this morning so we set-up camp on a green bench today. The kids had to take turns waiting for each other.
School Day
Peanut was back in school today after a fun-filled Ski Week in Hawaii. He made a tan-gram picture.
We also took a walk along the lagoon for “recess”. He decided to bring his latest Lego creation along for a test drive.
More SUP
What a beautiful morning we had today!
The kids loved stand-up paddleboarding so much the other day that they convinced Dada to rent one again today.
They went out pretty far today but didn’t see any turtles this time.
Janie also got to try it herself and took a little passenger with her.
The rest of the day was spent at the beach playing and swimming.
Stand-up Paddleboarding
We got up early and rented a stand-up paddleboard right outside our hotel. They were so excited to see a sea turtle swim by while they were out there!
Floating
Turtle Surfing
We were out at the beach really early today and Peanut gave the turtle a test run.
Beach and Pool Day
We were up early again and the kids watched the sun go up again. It really doesn’t get old.
We went down early to get a pool reservation and set up camp at our favorite umbrella/beach spot.
Toni and Thomas joined us early and they tried out the turtle floatie that was given to them at the other hotel.
We spent part of the time at the pool (during our 2-hour reservation) before heading back to the beach again.
Auntie Yoon and Uncle Kurt joined us again and brought poi donuts from Liliha. Yum!!
The rest of the day was spent at the beach and we all took turns in the lounge chair floatie.
Peanut had a little too much fun on the turtle floatie and was falling asleep on the water.
We pulled him out of the waves and put him under the umbrella where he took a 2-hour nap in the same position!
It later started to rain so we had to pack up and head back upstairs to the hotel room.
