Alex swimming at Ko'Olina lagoons. Ha ha I love this picture!
Kylee kisses for Grandma!

beautiful Ko'Olina, out on the south west coast of Oahu

the kids dug a huge hole to play in

bottom right, a couple getting married. you always see couples taking wedding pictures at the beach. i love to watch them.

A few days later we went to Hickam Beach. I'm playing with all of the big kids here. Nico, Alex and Kylee.

Papa snuggling with his Lexi

Nico and Alex. I dont remember what they were looking at, but its a cute picture.

You always get to see subs and other Navy ships heading into Pearl Harbor, thats one of the many reasons i love Hickam beach.

Random Trip Days

Here's a bunch of random pictures from the Wright family Hawaii trip. I have one more beach/lagoon day to post, but I'll have to do that when I get back from Atlanta next week (so Stay Tuned!). I love that we have been here for over 3 years, and we are still discovering a lot of new stuff to do. For people who get island fever, or say there's nothing to do, pshhh. Tons of stuff, just gotta look for it :)

My beautiful Lexi at a new Mexican restaurant. It was delicioso!
little posers

we ventured out to an area of the island we had never been before. the northwest side.

actually you cant even drive there. the paved road ends and you have to hike or have an off road vehicle.

lots of lava rocks.

we got to see wind surfers. it was really cool and looked like a lot of fun.

Lela, Alex and Nico

Me

it was all around beautiful

We went to Hooters and the Aloha tower one day. Here's the view from the Aloha tower. The Aloha tower was for a long time, the tallest building in Honolulu.

from outside of the tower

after lunch at Hooters we played :)

and all of the kids got a balloon

Papa and Grandma bought the girls pretty matching Hawaiian dresses

haha the mob

on another day we went out to the blowhole on the east side of the island. its beautiful out there. and this particular day was so clear, we could see the next island, Molokai. its hard to see the island in this picture, but you can barely make it out.

George and Lela

Okay I'm off! Hope you all have a fantastic week!

Our 5 days at Bellows Beach Cabins

While Josh's parents were here, we all saved our money so we could spend 5 days/nights in at cabin at Bellows beach. it was absolutely awesome! we had an oceanfront cabin so the beach was only a few steps away.

And swim we did!

haha Lexi is going snorkeling.

Cutie pie in a bikini....with a gun

Lexi and Nico

We had downtime where we would play games, like here we are playing Simon Says, and acting like chickens.

The boys had smores for the first time

ha ha this was fun to watch, laundry basket racesKylee loved racing Nico and Alex

Look, Kylee is in the lead!

One day Kylee was copying everything Grandma did. I dont know why she was...but it was so cute!

Papa enjoying the beautiful scenery

Grandma and Kylee, chillin

Daddy helping Kylee roast marshmallows

Mmm her first smore!

We tactically acquired boogie boards...and had just as much fun on the grass with them as we did in the water

There's Nico boogie boarding

my beautiful princess Kylee

yup. love how beautiful bellows is.

little happy Lexi

We had so much fun I want to go back again and again!
