The Boyz Hilo Trip

2Dad's new baby

Spence LOVED playing in the Hilo rain - it's too cold to play in Washington rain!

Lunch at Grandpa Chucks house

Hilo Bay

Aloooooha!

Lifeguard on Duty

The skinny mini at Onekahakaha Beach.

Girls Weekend

This is what we do when we are home alone for the weekend... shopping and pedi's! The boys are in Hilo on a spontaneous trip so we're focusing on staying home to potty train with a little girly fun mixed in.
It's not her fault that her feet look exactly like her daddy's - and grandma mish's. Nail polish only can do so much to vienna sausage toes. I tried!

Crabpot

The Feast at the Crabpot w/ Craig and Emily

Seaside

Liwai wanted to go somewhere we'd never been before to celebrate Mother's Day weekend. He proudly planned our first roadtrip to Seaside, Oregon.

This is a mural on the wall inside the ice cream shop.

Sweet sunshine! The beach reminded us of bonfires in The Karate Kid. Strolling on Broadway, the town's main street.

Spence discovered Tilt-a-Whirl and made Daddy take him on it over and over!

It's the End of the Trail for Lewis and Clark...and Spence and Cami

Although it looks like a hot, beachy day - it was windy and very chilly! For some reason, freezing seems to be a theme for us.

Cami loved sand in her "apple hippers" = pineapple slippers

Liwai thought the broken sand dollars in the sand were fake, we all never saw real sand dollars before!

What's a family vacation without going to the pool? We had fun in the indoor pool that was way warmer than outside.

This was also Cami's first time sleeping on a bed. At home she's still in the crib with no complaints. Anyway, she rolled off the bed in the middle of the night - kaboom! She yelped a little but by the time Liwai picked her up and put her back on the bed, she was snoring. Thankfully she didn't remember anything in the morning...she could have been traumatized for life!

Main Street was complete with an arcade, my air hockey game put Liwai to shame.

Farewell Seaside, we had a wonderful time!!

The long drive home was another story...

Fishing

Dylan, Allyson and Spence were the only ones who caught fishes.

Ava's 1st Birthday

Forget baseballs and superheros, Polynesian face painting rules! Our friend Mana who does tattoos, did face painting for the kids and look what Spence requested. We enjoyed friends, local food and music at Mel and Becky Urbanozo's daughter Ava's first birthday party.
There was also a jumpy house and Camryn cried and cried I had to take her out when the man came to take it down, she was devastated!
