So our day was spent swimming in the pool followed by swimming in the ocean followed by swimming in the pool followed by more swimming in the pool followed by more swimming in the ocean. We were downright prunelike when we were done.
The highlight of the day was the poolside shave ice the size of a toddler's head. When my husband jokingly told the girls one of the flavors they could choose was beef gravy the four-year-old started pumping her little fists and chanting, "Beef gravy! Beef gravy! Beef gravy!"
I've been referring to the kids as the 12-year-old, the six-year-old and the four-year-old because each day I forget to ask their parents if I could post their first names and photos. Finally I asked.
So here they are posing in Hawaii.

Sonya, wearing my husband's hat (we put a flower in it to make it look girlie), is on the left and Sylvia, who insisted on the Euro-trash look of short shorts and dark socks with her dark sneakers (we called her Hans for the day) is on the right. (The gal in the middle is one of the cast members from Aotearoa (or New Zealand) at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
Below is Sam next to Chief Sielu Avea.

OK! We get it! You're having a wonderful time on a beautiful tropical island breathing fresh sea air!
(Meanwhile I'm home with hay dust induced sinusitis.)
Shouldn't you be on a stage somewhere getting heckled?
Hey, now it seems like I'm in a hotel room getting cyber-heckled!
Yes, we're having a wonderful time. I would say "We wish you were here" but I think you'd cyber-hit me.
(Don't worry, I'll get sinusitis as soon as I get home.)
