Breanne's Luau Birthday Party

Since we had only been home from Hawaii for 4 days, we decided to do a Hawaiian Luau for Breanne's 4th Birthday Party. She loved it! And it was nice because we were able to bring some 'authentic Hawaiian' things home to help us celebrate!

Quite the greed fest! It looked worse than Christmas (that was only 2 months ago).

Breanne's traditional cupcake cake. Complete with a 'shake your hips-Hawaiian girl' and fresh Hawaiian flowers!

Happy Birthday Breanne!--- I can't believe my baby girl is 4 years old!

We played pin the coconut on the coconut tree.. Breanne was frustrated because she wanted to win, but could not see where to put the coconut! Obviously she missed the whole point of the game! Everyone else liked it though!

All of Breanne's favorite friends eating Hawaiian haystacks at her party.

Breanne and her very own hula girl!

We can't forget Kyler... He too was all decked out it his new Hawaiian shirt ready to party with his big sister!

Darren's nature shots

Darren took alot of nature shots in Hawaii with our new nifty camera. Here are a few of his favorites:

This was taken on our hotel room balcony on the west side of Oahu.

The camera has the ability to take seven shots in a row for action situations. Here is a whale tail he was able to get.

This was a pond at the Dole Pineapple plantation. In it, they have a botanical garden full of awesome flowers and stuff. This is cool because the water seems to blur.

This lilly pad was far away and so the shot was taken with a bigger lens.

What a pretty place. This is the Byodo-in temple located on the east side of Oahu.

Darren's favorite flower.

More Fun in the Sun!

Cute family in Beautiful Hawaii!

This is us at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Breanne thought this girl was pretty and wanted us to take a picture with her.

Watching the village parade on the water.

Breanne and Kyler swimming in the pool. Breanne wishes we could spend our whole trip in the pool. Kyler just wishes he could watch his Baby Einstein movies in his swing.

This is one of our favorite places to visit in Oahu the Chinese Byodo-in Temple. As you can see Breanne wasn't up to having her picture taken. This beautiful temple is nestled in the mountains of Northeast side of the island. Breanne's favorite part was feeding the fish and birds.
We also visited the Waikiki Aquarium.. It as way worth the trip into town. There were tons of beautiful fish tanks, shark and sea lion exhibits, and areas for touch sea life.

This picture is for Grams and Poppie who wanted to see Ky Ky's leggies in shorts!! What a cute little chunkin! The friends we are with have a 22 month old and Kyler is a 1/2 lb. heavier than her!
