Spending Time with Lydia and Emmitt

One of my favorite pictures.  Lydia wasn't too sure about Kyle until he was eating a bag of cheetos.  He offered her one and they were best friend forever after!

Magnet Play

Bob made and brought this magnet activity kit over for Tyson.  

Easter

Easter Prep:  Dying Easter Eggs

Easter Morning

We went to Coon's for Easter Dinner.  We took a stroll to the water tower and made drawings with chalk.  Tyson and Bruce didn't quite make it, but we enjoyed them from a far.

Mahalo, Hawaii!

We had a great time together and Megan got her dream vacation to a warm tropical paradise!

Turtle Beach

We were told that we would find turtles just a few miles from our resort.  We went two different nights and both revealed beautiful sunsets and many turtles.  It was fun to walk along the coast line an explore the area.

Wiakoloa Village

There were a lot of races up and down these stairs

 We spent the afternoon at the Wiakoloa Village.  They had their own private cove where we snorkled and swam with the turtles.  There were a lot of fish and a lot of turtles that we would just swim along with.  It was really amazing to glide through the water right next to them.

Beach Day 2: Kekaha Kai State Park

The next day we decided to try another beach.  We were told this beach was awesome for boogie boarding with stronger waves.  And stronger they were.  Lindsey went out and got knocked over and decided she wasn't getting back in the water.  We convinced her to come out with us and jump as the waves came.  All 5 of us were out there having a great time, when I looked and saw a giant one coming our way.  We were up to our chests already and there was not where to run.  I grabbed Lindsey's hand as tightly as I could and we were hit.  I held on tight and it felt like we were being tossed around under the water, but I didn't let go.  I am sure it wasn't long, but it felt like forever.  Eventually, we found our footing and stood up.  My sunglasses were lost to the sea, but we were OK.  Some cute locals came up and made sure we were OK and told us next time that we should have dove straight into / under the wave and it would have been calm.  Just and FYI for the future. Lindsey however sat out the rest of the day and just watched.
