This morning, Peanut was up early and went on a morning walk with Mama.
He brought his camera along and got some photos of the pretty morning sky and the water.
He also did a little jogging on the way home and found an excavator!
Family Run
We went for an afternoon family run. Peanut didn’t last too long so it was a good thing we brought the jogging stroller along. We like this back route because it’s not as crowded.
Hawaii: Day 7
It’s our last full day in Hawaii and we had plans to make the most of it!
We were up early and took a walk to Eggs n Things. We walked along the beach and we had really comfortable weather. 
At breakfast, Peanut drew a picture of all of us hiking Diamond Head yesterday.
After breakfast, Janie and Dada headed back to the hotel for an ukulele lesson.
Meanwhile, Peanut and Mama went shopping.
We walked through the International Marketplace and found a statue of Don Ho.
Before heading back, we stopped at Mitsuwa Marketplace to pick up lunch for everyone. Peanut had so much fun with the shopping basket.
He also picked out two boxes of Pocky sticks to share with the other kids.
Here’s all the food we bought for our two families.
We also picked up some mochi donuts from MoDo inside the market.
On the way back, we caught a ride on The Bus. It came right as we were walking up to the stop!
Back at the Paradise Pool, the kids were swimming and after they stopped to eat lunch, they went back in the pool and went down the tube slide over and over again. Even Janie conquered her fear and went too! It’s a dark and fast slide but Peanut absolutely loved it.
After all the swimming, Peanut fell asleep while still holding a chip in his hand.
In the meantime, the girls had moved over to the beach and Uncle Jamie rented a floating island. They had fun trying to balance and also throw each other off.
Once Peanut woke up, he and Mama got to play too.
It’s hard to believe that this is the same girl who was so terrified of even the sound of the ocean as a baby. Now she’s a floating pro just like her Dada and never wants to get out of the water.
For dinner, we walked to the hotel down the street to have dinner at KatsuMidori with Auntie Yoon, Uncle Kurt, and Trevor.
It’s a cute Japanese restaurant that lets you order from an iPad and some of your food gets delivered by a train!!!
We walked back to the hotel along the lagoon with the full moon to light the way.
What a fun day and evening to end the vacation!
Running Laps
Peanut says that he runs laps around the yard with his classmates at school. I think that’s pretty cool.
Pokemon Walk
It was such a pretty day outside so we took a family walk along the water. We also caught some Pokemon along the way.
Academy Visit
We made a quick trip to the Academy of Sciences today.
Glasses!!
We’ve had these glasses for over a month now and each time we put them on him, he closes his eyes, cries, and pulls them off. This afternoon, while he was watching Octonauts with Janie, I put them on and kept them on long enough to look through them. Surprisingly, he didn’t get upset and kept them on! In fact, he kept them on for at least 30 minutes and seemed to find the cartoon a little more interesting than usual. You could see his eyes moving left and right on the TV screen as if he had never seen so clearly before. Likely, that’s been the case.
Mama showed him what he looked like in Mama’s phone and he took a selfie of himself.
He looks so adorable in his glasses and they fit him really well too. There’s an elastic band in the back that keeps it snug on his face. Unfortunately, the lenses fog up sometimes when he’s running around or crying.
Later this evening, he wore them again and this time it was for almost an hour.
He ran around, climbed, and played “treasure hunt” with his big sister with the glasses on the whole time!
We took this picture together to mark this milestone for our little boy.
Egg Hunt
After visiting the condo, we went to the new park in the neighborhood to join Janie’s classmates in an egg hunt.
Everyone got a basket (including Peanut) and rushed the grassy area.
It was Janie’s first egg hunt and she’s usually really slow and picky whenever there’s a pinata, so we had to explain how it works. 
Peanut found a few eggs of his own off to the side.
Janie made off with a pretty big stash of eggs – pretty good for her first time!
Here she is with, WuWu, one of her school buddies. They are equally goofy together.
The kids scored erasers, stickers, and chocolate eggs.
What a fun event!!
Locked out
This evening, both Mama and Dada left the keys in the house as we left for dinner. We were locked out!! Luckily, Mirian was home so Dada took a cab to her house to pick up the keys while Mama took the kids out for dinner nearby.
They were well behaved and had a hearty meal.
After dinner, we went back to the condo and waited for Dada in the lobby. The intercom is connected to Mama’s cell phone so we were able let ourselves into the building at least.
This is what it looked like in the lobby while we waited. Janie did some push-ups while Peanut worked on climbing the lounge chair.
There was also a little bit of running in circles too.
Last Day of Soccer
Today’s the last day of the Winter Soccer Season and we are all relieved. After two seasons, Janie is still struggling to stick with the group. You can see her on the far left wandering away from the rest of the kids and coaches.
Peanut has been a good spectator and had to stay in the stroller the whole time today. The grass was way too wet from the rain last night.
Luckily, they did Janie’s favorite drill where she had to run through cones and kick the ball into the goal.
Hopefully we’ll be able to find another activity (or a different soccer class) that she’ll enjoy in Alameda.
