Ryan woke up to balloons EVERYWHERE.
His birthday was the second day we were in Hawaii so we had a full on "RYAN day."



We started out with breakfast at the hotel - it was buffet style so of course Ryan was in heaven.
Any food a kid could ever want..
Ryan's choice of food this particular morning were chocolate chip waffles, "tiger cereal" ( frosted flakes ) and a doughnut or two - really nutritious!! I kept stuffing him a banana in between bites! My poor kids - ha!





I love going to church on vacation.
It's so fun to see the unique culture traditions.
The best start to the day. ^^

We have had this Hawaii trip planned for quite a while so Ryan has been counting down the days until his birthday when he gets to "swim with fishies".
We took him to Hanauma Bay to snorkle! ^^



Any kid would love this I'm sure, but Ryan especially and his love for all things "ocean" - this was heaven for him.


He loved watching fish swim under his toes!
And Luke of course, never got bored of eating the sand and chasing birds.




While we were in Oahu, we stayed on Waikiki. ^^
This was my very first time to Waikiki! I have stayed other areas in Oahu but never here!


If you are going to stay on Waikiki, I LOVED our resort! We stayed at the Moana Surfrider - it's a Westin resort.


It has a very 'old victorian theme' and is so romantic looking.


The beach is beautiful and everything 'food/ shops wise' is within walking distances - which is so nice!
