Hawaii Day 1: Arrival and Sandy Beach

We left for Hawaii on April 11 at 8am!  We had to get the boys up around 5:30 to get there on time, but they were all smiles.  Crue did not sleep a wink on the plane.  Instead he wanted to talk and SING to everyone! It was a little challenging keeping him occupied because he doesn't watch TV, or play games on the tablet or phone, or color in any of the books I brought... but he was happy the whole 6 hours and not as mischievous as I was expecting. 

 Waiting for our luggage!

 Waiting for Grandma to pick us up!

Well we visited with Grandma, Auntie Bray and our cousins a bit before heading to the beach! Crue was not fond of the sand nor the big waves.  He got so worried every time the boys would get near the water.  One time a wave knocked Caleb over and I thought Crue was going to have a heart attack!  He was almost sobbing a few times over his brothers frolicking in the ocean! 

 We were lucky to see several whales breaching! It was so awesome!

 After Crue calmed down a bit he decided he wanted to lay around like his mama!

 We had to pull Caleb out of the water when it was time to go!  He would've been there all night.

 It was a good first day.  The boys think the beach showers are so funny! I think the boys in the beach showers are so funny! Kellan had to make sure he didn't miss any sand, anywhere!
