On our way out for the day-in the lobby of the Hale Koa
stunning flowers at the local farmers market
Emee picked out a fresh jicama to snack on
yes please-a whole garden FULL!
At Hickam Harbor for some paddle boarding & kyaking!
THIS is why Em wanted to learn to Paddle Board so badly....Kanani can do it-didn't you know? :) She came-decked out in her Paddle Boarding gear to support Em on the sidelines :)
I am STILL amazed at how GORGEOUS this water is....
Technically-you are supposed to stand & paddle, but it was too windy that day for such a little munchkin to do that without getting hurt in the process :) so kneeling it was!
Next stop: Ko'Olina to check out the new Disney resort there. It didn't disappoint. Nothing short of ABSOLUTEY AMAZING! In true Disney fashion-they didn't miss a detail and kept it all in TRUE Aloha spirit/tradition.
There was a HUGE Shamu type aquarium filled with all the tropical fish from NEMO. The kids could jump in and snorkel through-while the parents watched from the viewing cavern! So Disney to come up with something like that!
Goofy was swimming in the pool with the kids...
The kids were OOBER excited to get to hug Stitch! They've never met him before!
Like a postcard- isn't it?
It was a very placid lagoon-the kids were able to "swim" around on their own by holding onto their boogie boards. Beautiful tropical fish swimming about with you-easy for kids to snorkel in, etc. Like I said-AMAZING! There were even whales off in the distance (on the other side of the reef) that were splashing their tails about. NO JOKE! It was incredible-just swimming in the lagoon-while whale watching.....bliss :)

We had such a fantastic afternoon-we knew we'd have to come back for more before our trip ended.
