Back to Honolulu

As usual, we had a few days in Honolulu before flying back to Majuro. A few wonderful days of the big city, great restaurants, sun, swimming pools, and fun!

 A very exciting whale statue at SeaTac!

 Ready for touristing fun

 Rainbow in the valley

 Ladies manicure day

 Big city buildings! 

(I'm going to miss these!)

 Looking down from our deluxe penthouse in the sky!

 Ok! Let's swim!

 Oooh! It's cold! 

(compared to the equator!)

 JUMP!

 Hee hee hee!

 Now I'll take YOUR picture dad!

We're probably the only visitors here who prefer the non-ocean view!

Honolulu Vacay!

Autumn had meetings in Honolulu this week, so Kylie and I tagged along for a much needed vacation! Kylie has been growing like a weed and needed a whole new wardrobe before she STARTS PRE-SCHOOL in a few weeks! We had to power shop through a few stores and she actually has to try on the clothes now, which is a whole new level of fun / torture! Besides playing with K at the pool, we spent the week dining out, shopping and stocking up on goodies.

 Cheese!

 Can we swim now?

You know there's a pool at this hotel, right dad?

 !!!

Kylie learned to jump in the pool!

 She never wants to leave.  She will live in the pool!

 It's too sunny!

 K's first real pedicure!

 Trying to be serious, but laughing the whole time!

 Blue sparkle toes!

 Pool time again!

 Swimming with mama!

 Tiki drink!

 Matching sunglasses?

Maybe in pink?

Fancy tonkatsu sandwich at Tonkatsu Ginza Bairin!

Pool Day

This morning we headed down for a pool day with Aya and a few other friends.

 Mama and baby!

 I'm gonna get you!

 Snack break

 Pool pals

Baby dolphin!

June Update 1 of 2

With the World Cup taking over everything in Brazil, we have been staying close to home for the past few weeks. And, we will continue to do so for the next few weeks until it's all over. While that doesn't make for many great blogging opportunities, it does give one plenty of time to download one's phone, so here are a bunch of pictures from our day to day lives around Recife, here in exotic Brazil!

 Just another day at the beach

 Kylie and Autumn clowning around during Carnival!

 This is the life

 Play date with Aya in the princess castle

 Striking a pose

 Finally decided to unpack the serger and read the 92 page manual!

 A little baby quilt that I whipped up for K

 Kylie finding new uses for her infant bath tub

 Helping dad make pizza dough

 Big time coloring

 Ready for more time at the beach!

 Drip castles!

 Another day, another "selfie" to text to Autumn

(just so she knows how much fun she's missing out on while she's at work!)

 Oh-ho! Dad left the computer unattended...

HAVE IT!

 Who DOESN'T need a tiara to go the the grocery store?

 I can't tell if they're having fun, or if Kylie is about to push Aya or swipe her toy!?!

Let's go with fun!

 Such a good helper in the kitchen!

 Cheese!

Baby pool upgrade!
