After so many months of being at home and not together at school, Peanut and Ethan got to see each other at the playground. They enjoyed time in the wood chips, in the trees, and in our beach chairs sharing a snack.
Teppanyaki
We had dinner with Auntie Yoon, Uncle Kurt, and Trevor tonight. The kids had a front row to the giant volcano fire.
What a fun evening!
Beach and Pool Day
We were up early again and the kids watched the sun go up again. It really doesn’t get old.
We went down early to get a pool reservation and set up camp at our favorite umbrella/beach spot.
Toni and Thomas joined us early and they tried out the turtle floatie that was given to them at the other hotel.
We spent part of the time at the pool (during our 2-hour reservation) before heading back to the beach again.
Auntie Yoon and Uncle Kurt joined us again and brought poi donuts from Liliha. Yum!!
The rest of the day was spent at the beach and we all took turns in the lounge chair floatie.
Peanut had a little too much fun on the turtle floatie and was falling asleep on the water.
We pulled him out of the waves and put him under the umbrella where he took a 2-hour nap in the same position!
It later started to rain so we had to pack up and head back upstairs to the hotel room.
Rolling with the Waves
Day at the Beach
It’s Valentine’s Day and we were up early as expected on the first day in Hawaii. It was nice to be able to watch the sunrise from our lanai.
The kids wanted to go to the beach so we packed up and headed down.
We set up camp and pretty much stayed the whole day.
Toni and Thomas arrived a little later.
Auntie Yoon and Uncle Kurt showed up by lunchtime with Trevor and we spent the rest of the day with them.
The day ended with an ice cream delivery by Dada and Peanut.
Buddies Reunited
Five months ago, these two boys were the last ones left in their preschool before it finally had to close because of shelter-in-place ordinances. Today, they got to see each other again and it was so fun! Turns out they both learned how to ride two-wheeled bikes during their time in isolation and were so excited to ride together.
They are climbed the tree by the playground together and played like they had just seen each other yesterday at school.
Buddies
These two have become friends this summer. So cute.
Keeping in Touch
While Janie has been in SoCal for the summer, her friend Maya is back at home missing her. What’s nice is that they can still call each other over Facetime and play Roblox together.
Preschool Graduation 2020
It’s Peanut’s Graduation Day from preschool. He started as a Honeybee when he was 20 months old and went all the way up to the Pre-Kindergarten class. With the pandemic and shelter-in-place, graduation was modified to a drive-by event. We lined up in our cars and Auntie Eleen decorated their minivan for the occasion.
When it was Peanut’s turn, his teachers were there to greet him and presented him with a certificate and tassel.
His buddy Ethan was also right behind us in their car!
Afterward, we met up at the ferry parking lot to take some photos.
Here is Peanut with his buddy Maya. Thanks for the candy lei!!
Congratulations to our Peanut!! Kindergarten, here we come!
Old Friend
It’s had been over two months since they saw each other at school. His buddy, Ethan, came over with his dad and they both showed off their newly acquired shelter-in-place skills! It’s so cool that they both learned how to ride their two-wheel bikes at the same time and couldn’t wait to ride around the pool together.
