4 day weekend!

We just had a 4 day weekend and spent a lot of time traveling around the island and going to the beach.  It started on Thursday when we went out to Kailua which is on the other side of the island from Pearl Harbor.  We went to the beach for a few hours and then stopped at a great burger place on our way home.

On Friday we hung around the hotel, I had a Dr. appt to get set up for my pre-natal care and Robert had some editing to do.  After Eli's nap we headed out to Costco to get some beach towels and chairs and then to the NEX to get food for a picnic.

On Saturday we headed out to the North Shore for a beach day!  Someone told us about a beach that often has sea turtles hanging around so we headed there.  Eli had fun with the turtles and quoted lines from Finding Nemo all day.

Can you see the head popping up?

On Sunday we tried a church and then later in the day took Eli to get his hair cut.  It rained the rest of the evening so we stayed in.

On Monday we ventured out to the Ko Olina lagoons for a few hours, but once we got there we learned that the beach was closed do to high surf and brown water (yuck).  Apparently something happened with a local landfill that they were working to clean up.  So we ventured further up the island, but there were red flag warnings  because of the surf and rocky shores, so it turned out to be a bust, but a pretty drive.  After Eli's nap, we went to the hotel pool, Eli's first time in a pool!

Swimming!

A good view of Eli's new hair cut ;)

Cheese!

Practicing kicks

 Now we are back to reality, Robert is back to work and Mommy and Eli are hanging around the hotel waiting patiently for Daddy to come home.

I'll try to do a better job of taking more pictures!  I can't find my camera battery charger so we are heading to a best buy tonight in hopes they have one
