Sick Days

Sorry for the delay in postings, our family has been trading off illness for the past 3 weeks!

Here’s a rundown of Elise’s many night time wakings.  First she gives two very gentle knocks on the door *knock knock*…you open the door and find her passed out like this… 

As for Abby…she needed a few puffs of medication to help her with her breathing some nights…

And even with the medication and sitting up in a swing to sleep she was still SNORING like crazy…listen closely past the gears of the swing, it’s ABBY!

But it’s ok…we’re all getting better now.  And dad’s off work…so he has more time to goof around too! YAY!

Hey Mr. Koodo…have you seen my daughter Abby??

Ok Folks, see you next time!

Hawaii Part 2

So here are the rest of the pics from our experiences in Hawaii! Also a video from the beginning (burning Elise’s energy on our 5 hour LAX layover) and everything in between.

First off Vanessa and Alex…swimming with SEA TURTLES!! WhoOaaa, AWESOME dude!!

SO proud of Vanessa.  We were about 40ft underwater and she was rockin’ a superman pose for the camera!

We even saw a shark hiding under some coral.

Ok now back to the kiddos!

We visited the DOLE Pineapple plantation…most of our time was spent stuck in a hedge maze…with Elise running away from us as you can see.

Of course we had to have some of their “World Famous” Dole Whipped Ice Cream.

Next stop…Polynesian Cultural Centre!!

Next was Elise playing the drums while…

GONG GONG danced HULA!!! YEAH!!!

Some more photos of us in front of palm trees and huts.  And Elise’s favourite part of Hawaii…feeding ducklings. Haha!

Beautiful bamboo fishes and beautiful ladies!

Here Gong Gong…you can be like those naked Samoan Fire Twirlers!

Wait…where has Abby been this whole time? Ahh yes…HER favourite part of Hawaii…Sleeping!!! =)

No bah bahhh! I also enjoyed hanging out with all of my gong gongs and po pos!

Having a good ol’ fashioned STAREDOWN with Gong Gong!

Elise: ‘Mile Abby! (my version of “smile”)

Who says drinking from a sippy cup is for OLDER kids…watch this…I think I’ve GOT it…booyah!

Then we had our trip to the North Shore for yet another “WORLD FAMOUS”…this time it was Macky’s Shrimp…

And Matsu Moto’s Shaved Ice.

And then our last day on the beach.

Thanks for making me smile so much Kai Po Po!

Gong Gong I LOVE YOU!!!

Po Po…can you tell daddy to bring us back here again? PLEEEEEASE!

Thank you again to all gong gongs and po po’s!

What a wonderful trip! Aloha!

Aloha from Hawaii!

What a wonderful trip we had to Hawaii this past week. Thank you Kai-Po Po Kai Gong Gong and Po Po Gong Gong

First we had to fly there…and WHAT a trip it was! 24 hours of travelling.  But as you can see I was all set and stylish with my travel suitcase from Lily Yi-Po! THANKS! Now if only I can figure out which gate I need to be at for my transfer OY!

Elise and Abby were both VERY good girls on the plane!

FINALLY! TIME FOR SOME FUN IN THE SUN SIS!!

Uhm…excuse me…you’re in my sun.  You’re gonna ruin my rockin’ tan!

Ooooh…what’s that tubey thing dad? Yoink! you won’t me needing THAT anymore…dad? where’d you go? (By the way…dad was ACTUALLY struggling /drowning as the water was too deep while mom just kept taking these beautiful pictures of me. Am I not just the CUTEST??)

Sooo…mom and dad decided that I needed some daily “salt water spa” treatments for my skin…and it actually DID help..daddyyy…if you love me…then you gotta move us to Hawaii….kay?

Elise: SMILE!

Abby: MMmmm! Ocean water! Salty!

About 5 pictures taken and 2 photoshop efforts later…a BEAUTIFUL Hawaii Family Photo!

Now for some FUN IN THE SAND!! But…I don’t know if I like sand…”yucky!” Ahhh…a bucket to wash my feet in…now if only I could KEEP my feet clean…

Hmmm..this is nice mom, thanks.  Wait…why are you sitting me down…NOOOOO!!

Dad gets a bit of playtime in the water too! GO DAD!!

I’m sooo excited for you dad…really.

So far a great start to our Hawaii trip! Stay tuned for more pics and videos!
