We were so excited to get to go to Hawaii!! This was a first for all 6 of us. And for Jake, it was his first time on an airplane. What an incredible family adventure this would be - we were so happy to be going that the 6 hour non-stop flight to Oahu wasn't even that bad :)
The kids were well entertained during the flight with snacks, drinks, movies, games, and coloring...
When we got off the airplane, we all got real flower leis ... eventually I ended up wearing 5 leis... haha..
With the time change, we were actually 3 hours earlier than Arizona - so even though we felt like we had traveled all day - we still had sunlight for quite a while after we arrived in Oahu. We drove from the airport to Haaula - the small town about an hour northeast from the Honolulu airport. We met with the owner of the house we were renting and he gave us a walkthrough. As soon as we unloaded our luggage, we quickly got into swimsuits and headed down to the beach! We played for a little bit and ate some quick dinner on the beach...
And later we went out for ice cream in Laie...
Dole pineapple whip!
All that sand and not one cactus! So much fun...
