Fun in On-oh-lu-lu

This week's blog title is in honor of Silas Wade, who brought parents Brad and Angela and his sister Violet to visit us this past week. For a nearly two-year old, he did an excellent job of pronouncing his vacation destination. While in beautiful Hawaii, his favorite outfit was not his swimsuit, but Daniel's Sesame Street bicycle helmet, worn backwards and with not much else.


The gang on the Pineapple Express at the Dole Plantation.


Daniel, Sophie and Violet with a genuine Dole pineapple. One pineapple per plant, and some of the varieties are pink!


Brad and Silas by the coi pond at the Dole Plantation. The pond was literally seething with coi. The kids got to feed them, and the little suckers are so aggressive that they flop on top of each other in huge piles to compete for food pellets.


One of several North Shore beaches where turtles come on shore to warm themselves in the sun. This one made several attempts to land, but found the surf too rough and turned back out to sea.


Sophie and Violet at the Old Spaghetti Factory. They were "twins" that day and "sisters" for the week.


Violet and Silas at Waikiki


Did we keep them busy, or what?

I feel for that poor turtle!

What is a pink pineapple like inside? How does it taste?

Love,

This all looks like such a great adventure. It's a long ways from the sixth floor of The Lamb's, isn't it. I'm happy for you guys.
