Oh Hawaii Nei, We Miss You Already

Eve was adored by my brother and sister

Chanelle and Eve
One of my favorite things to do is nurse while looking at the ocean. Mark was a little sneaky by capturing this shot.






We had a barbeque at Ali'i beach park





Mark trying to nurse Esther at Kahana bay











Eve had so much fun at Kahana bay. Everytime we tried to take her out of the water she threw a tantrum.







I discovered that Mark turns into a kid at the beach. He really had fun playing with Eve.








This girl loves the water and the sand.





My little pearl as calm as can be while taking a bath with mama.


Every evening my pop's feeds the birds. This time he took Eve along and she was a little scared at first when they all started flying towards her but after awhile she loved it.



We just loved the North East side of the island and we could not get enough of it. This is Castle's next to Malekahana.
Ko'olina the first lagoon.



Kawela bay

There were honu's (sea turtles) galore. I always get excited when I see honu's.


Eve's foot prints at Kawela bay.



Joey and his beautiful wife Georgette had us over for dinner to eat some Hawaiian food, oh I was in heaven. Thank you so much again you two!

Ko'olina the fourth lagoon.






She is such a happy baby and we love her alot. Well to sum up the trip; besides Eve's horrible tantrums we had a lot of fun going to the beach and spending time with family. It's going to be a while before we go back to Hawaii. Mark and I learned valuable lessons on what to do and what not to do when traveling with keiki's.





P.s. I got the chance to do a photo shoot of one of my good friends (a.k.a my other sister) Chanelle Kanani. We had so much fun:) Check it out and let me know what you think. http://photographybyleilani.wordpress.com/2009/06/08/lanikohonua-where-heaven-meets-the-earth/#more-6

Those pictures are gorgeous! I am so happy you were able to go home!! I love the pic with little Esther's bum in the sand, that is priceless! Tell Mark congrats on the new calling!

What a fun family trip to Hawaii! Isn't it the worst to live far away from family? It's hard raising kids away from their grandparents, aunts, and uncles isn't it? (I think you and I talked about this before.) Our family is 9 hours away... I can't even imagine having them as far as Hawaii.

I LOVE the pictures on your other blog! I have always said that you have "the eye," and that really comes through in your pictures! I hope you keep adding to your "other" blog with more great pictures!
