Preston and I were so lucky to have the chance to spend one week in Hawaii! Preston won the trip for work so we couldn't wait to go together. We stayed at the JW Marriott at Ko Olina, it is on the West side of Oahu. We had such a great time seeing all the sites, relaxing, laying out, and just hanging out together. It was nice to not have the kids around on vacation, but we really missed them. The kids did great at home; we were blessed with 3 great babysitters. Thank you 3 so much, our kids had the best time! We really appreciate it!
Preston getting his First Pedi, I got one too but didn't think it was necessary to take a picture.
The View from our balcony
Preston found a good snorkeling place near out hotel. He saw tons of fish and some turtles again. I layed out!

Preston at the Dole Plantation Plant
In front of the Laie Temple, the temple is closed for renovation for a long time so we couldn't go, we were bummed.
Famous Haleiwa Shaved Ice
Our big Turtle on the North Shore. There were huge turtles all over the beach, all the other people didn't think anything of all these turtles so they must be pretty common, but we were excited to see them.
The North Shore
This is at a Malasadas stand, they are little poofy donut thing. They are a huge hit in Hawaii, pretty tasty!
We took this for Tate. Elmo on Waikiki trying to get some tips, we were probably the only ones who gave him some since there were much more creative performers out.

How fun, it looks so warm . . . I'm super jealous, there's nothing better than the sun and the beach! You guys always do such fun things, I think Eric need to work with Preston, all Eric ever wins is dental stuff, boring.

Hi Steel Family!
I'm a friend of Preston's and just found your blog through Michele's. So fun to see what your family is up to! Your kids are darling and the Hawaii trip looked so fun. Kenny and I love to vacation in Maui and we are all about the turtles too. :) I'm also loving that pic of Preston getting a pedicure. I'll have to give him a hard time about that one next time I run into him. ;)
Cute blog!
