Day Four: 3/8/15

Our 4th day in Hawaii started out with a walk down to Eggs ‘n Things for my favorite coconut waffle.   We managed to get a table for the whole family and we were all stuffed when we were all done.

After a failed attempt at taking the kids to the zoo (they both fell asleep), we ended up at the Moana beach bar where I got a virgin lava flow that had banana flavor in it.  Yuk.  The real kind doesn’t usually have it but mine did.

For lunch, we went to Marukame Udon and I got the udon with a soft egg on top with a few sides to take back to the hotel.

After lunch, we all went to the beach and it was warm enough to go for a little dip in the ocean.

I took the GoPro out there and caught Jes floating – his favorite thing to do in the ocean.
This was Jes’ attempt at dunking me.  Luckily the water was super shallow all the way out there and I managed to escape.Of course there was time in the sand and Brother dug a moat for KK.  Too bad the tide was coming in fast and flooded every time they were making progress.

Before heading back to the hotel room, we took the kids to the pool and they hung out in the shallow area together.

After a little break in the hotel room, we went downstairs to watch the Honolulu Festival Parade.   This was our favorite performance – it was about 230 Japanese students all dancing their hearts out with high energy and big smiles.  They looked exhausted but also looked like they were having the time of their lives. The night was finished off with a really good fireworks show over Waikiki Beach.  We got a really nice view from our hotel pool area.
