Watch us grow!
What a spectacular view we have this time around. We love hanging out on the lanai when we are taking a break from the sun. This morning, Janie did a Facetime call with her friend Maya and shared the view with her.
We love the renovations they made last year complete with new furniture and flooring.
In the afternoon, Auntie Yoon dropped us off at the Sheraton Waikiki. When we checked in, the front desk upgraded us to an oceanfront room. WOW!
The kids couldn’t wait to hit the beach so that’s what we did after dropping off our things.
The evening sunset was so pretty from the lanai.
The kids drew their version of our afternoon. So funny. I like how Janie’s drawing is of Dada on the beach saying “This is relaxing.”
We had dinner at the foodcourt nearby and the kids got their first shave ice for the trip.
Auntie Yoon picked us up from the airport last night and we slept over at her house. The kids loved playing with Trevor and had McDonald’s for breakfast.
We also went to the Farmer’s Market nearby and picked up lunch.
Later in the day, we went to the park/school yard behind their house to play on the playground and fly a kite.
What a nice way to relax on our first day in Hawaii. Thank you to Auntie Yoon and Uncle Kurt for hosting us!
Dada’s electric scooter arrived and the extra handles were installed for Peanut. They will be riding to school on this thing. Wish them luck!
We took Yai to the city today.
For lunch, we went to Hog Island Oyster Co. It had been so long since we last went into the city and ate here.
This was Peanut’s science lesson today.
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.
Peanut helped Mama make dinner today.
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.
