Polynesian Cultural Center

The kids loved the Polynesian Cultural Center! They got to dance, craft, play games, take a boat ride, watch shows, fish, get tatoos...it was a good time.

Nate even got crowned King of Tonga!

At Pearl Harbor

 
 
 
Posted by Picasa

Seemed appropriate...

...to post our Pearl Harbor pictures today. It was a sobering part of our trip. We were grateful for the children's efforts to be reverent and respectful. They did great and learned a lot while we were there. It is a beautiful memorial and visiting stirred up feelings of patriotism, as well as gratitude for those who fight to defend our freedom.

The Sea Turtles were huge and so fun for the kids to see! They were swimming all around us in the ocean and sunbathing on the beach. It was very cool.

This was the "must visit while in Hawaii" place that everyone recommended...and they were right! So good. We just made it before closing time.
