Toni and Thomas’ House
The kids had another day at Toni and Thomas’ house and their pool.
Toni and Thomas’ House
It’s a swim day at Toni and Thomas’ house!
The “triplets” also got measured today.
They also played school with Janie as the teacher.
More swimming
We had another pool day and this time we brought food for grilling. So fun!
Pool Day!
It’s still so HOT here in Southern California and the pool at Auntie Jia’s house is open!
Passed!!
Oh man…that took way too long (16 months). He finally passed his Seahorse swim class goals and is finally a Silverfish. Aquatech is making a killing on kids like mine. The swim center was super empty today too. People are taking this virus very seriously.
Focused
After his swim class, he was rewarded with some iPad time. His focus and giant headphones reminded me of photos of Michael Phelps getting ready for his swim races.
Active Day
It’s the last day of Janie’s Winter Break. This morning, Janie and Mama went to the tennis courts to play. Afterward, we walked to Angelfish for a sushi lunch.
Then we picked up Peanut from school in the afternoon and headed to Target to pick up a few supplies.
It was also a swim day and Janie got her Eel ribbon and was moved up to Tigershark!! Woohoo!
Hawaii: Day 7
It’s our last full day in Hawaii and we had plans to make the most of it!
We were up early and took a walk to Eggs n Things. We walked along the beach and we had really comfortable weather. 
At breakfast, Peanut drew a picture of all of us hiking Diamond Head yesterday.
After breakfast, Janie and Dada headed back to the hotel for an ukulele lesson.
Meanwhile, Peanut and Mama went shopping.
We walked through the International Marketplace and found a statue of Don Ho.
Before heading back, we stopped at Mitsuwa Marketplace to pick up lunch for everyone. Peanut had so much fun with the shopping basket.
He also picked out two boxes of Pocky sticks to share with the other kids.
Here’s all the food we bought for our two families.
We also picked up some mochi donuts from MoDo inside the market.
On the way back, we caught a ride on The Bus. It came right as we were walking up to the stop!
Back at the Paradise Pool, the kids were swimming and after they stopped to eat lunch, they went back in the pool and went down the tube slide over and over again. Even Janie conquered her fear and went too! It’s a dark and fast slide but Peanut absolutely loved it.
After all the swimming, Peanut fell asleep while still holding a chip in his hand.
In the meantime, the girls had moved over to the beach and Uncle Jamie rented a floating island. They had fun trying to balance and also throw each other off.
Once Peanut woke up, he and Mama got to play too.
It’s hard to believe that this is the same girl who was so terrified of even the sound of the ocean as a baby. Now she’s a floating pro just like her Dada and never wants to get out of the water.
For dinner, we walked to the hotel down the street to have dinner at KatsuMidori with Auntie Yoon, Uncle Kurt, and Trevor.
It’s a cute Japanese restaurant that lets you order from an iPad and some of your food gets delivered by a train!!!
We walked back to the hotel along the lagoon with the full moon to light the way.
What a fun day and evening to end the vacation!
Hawaii: Day 5
It was another gorgeous morning in Hawaii. We are so spoiled waking up to this every morning!
We went exploring this morning before breakfast.
The kids also wanted to play at the beach so Dada took them down while Mama went for a run. You can see them playing from our lanai!
Auntie Yoon later picked us up and wen went to lunch at Tonkatsu Tamafuji.
After lunch, I took Peanut for a walk and he finally fell asleep once I let him run around a bit.
In the meantime, Janie stayed with Auntie Ranee and Uncle Jamie for the afternoon. They hung out at Paradise Pool and the lagoon until it was Happy Hour time.
Peanut did, however, wake up in time to ride on the pedal boat with the girls.
Back at Ali’i Pool, the girls continued to play in the pool and the grown-ups enjoyed Happy Hour prices.
In the evening, the kids showered and ate dinner in Yai and Ta’s room while Mama and Dada had a date night. Thanks for watching them!!
