Today our neighbor and I took the kids to the Pearl Ridge Mall to ride the train. No adults were aloud. They did better then had expected. K made it around 3 times but by the 4Th she had enough and was crying. D did great to. He and O enjoyed their ride. They took the kids around 5 times. Worth the 3 dollars we had spent. After the train we went shopping at price busters. It has a little of everything from party supplies to holiday decorations to baby stuff. You can always find something to buy there. We then had lunch at Farrell's Ice Cream parlor. Also a great place for kids and yes we had ice cream .

We have had a rough week with O. She has been ill since Monday and I hope she is getting better. We visited Tripler yesterday for some IV fluids and IV zofran to help with her nausea. Today she seems still tired and complaining about her belly aches but has not done any vomiting. Hopefully I will get some pictures up later this weekend.

Weekend in Maui

We just took a mini vacation to Maui. I was telling hubby as we were heading home how we had to goto Maui for a vacation. It was fun, I would highly reccommend it. We took the superferry out along with our car on board, which made it easy not having to tote car seats for the girls. The ride was a bit choppy and O and I did not fair well the ride over there. Loading the car at 5am didn't help that much either. We arrived on Maui after the 3 hr ferry ride. Breakfast on the boat

Nice play area for the Keiki

Playing in the sand

The girls were occupied by the sandbox this evening while I made dinner. Hmm I forgot about this entertainer. They really kept themsevles busy for at least a good 45mins. We had porkchops with potatoes. They were good eaters tonight.

smile for mom, yeah right

The first time Daddy really got to dive in Hawaii. He went with the neighbors during thier sons certification dive. They were supposed to go last week but some some problems with the boat. He had agood time and I think the dive bug bit him. We would really love to dive more often and will hopefully soon. We decided to take the girls to the Hickam carnival after daddy got home from his dive. I cost us about 30dollars but the girls had a fun time. More for O's, she is our little thrill seaker, which is good since mom gets dizzy very easy on these wild rides.

Fun on the big slide

Trick or Treat

Dad took the girls out trick or treating for the first part of the night then I went around to a few more houses with the girls. I could'nt believe all the energy O had and she didn't eat that much candy. Meet Curious George and the Man with the Yellow Hat. You can not forget the Lil' StingerWe met up with some of the neighborsAfterwards was fun to. I didn't think she would get any sleep that night.

Happy Sunday

We were up early this morning with the girls and headed near waikiki area to a 5K run for breast cancer. Talk about packed. I think people were still trying to park when the race began. We had to take a shuttle over to the race we parked so far away. We are not sure how they figured out the winners since we had know idea when they actually started the race. Needles to say we had fun anyway. We stayed til the end the ate lunch a place called Mac 24/7 Huge pancakes. The girls split cinnamon streusel panacakes. They were good. The IHOP pancake man, I don't think he ran
