A very quick update from beautiful Hawaii

DISCLAIMER: Journal style blog post to follow. Extensive use of lists of events, it helps us remember what we did.

SATURDAY:
Surfed in the break out from the Beach House, played in the big waves at Waimea Bay, the guys bought some surfboards, eaten at Kua Aina Burger in Haliewa.

SUNDAY:
Went to church, visited the Hawaii Temple & Visitors center where we took pictures, played Razzle Dazzle (hilarious card game the Jon taught us), and had communal meal of Taco Salad which was awesome!

MONDAY:
Surfed in the morning outside the beach house, Becca & Lynz took the kids to the zoo in Waikiki, we played & surfed at Waikiki Beach (Dave got a bit fried & a ridiculous tan line that will be documented in a later post), walked the strip a bit, everybody ate at Costco and then stocked up on supplies.

TUESDAY:
Had early morning surf way out from beach house, Dave had nap to recoup from his hours of paddling for 1 wave, surfed again, played at the beach, Lyndsey surfed, Elysse finally got really brave with the water and played in the shore-break, surfed again, had another communal meal of Chicken Salad sandwiches in Croissants with raw veggies and pita chips w/hummus.

Oh yeah, on two occasions so far we have arrived home and plopped an exhausted Elysse on the stairs where she exhibited signs of childhood-sleep-anywhere-itis. We'll see how many more times this happens.

The plethora of pictures should loosely follow the chronology described above with the exception of the first picture which I forgot to post before of us arriving at HNL Airport.

Glorious Hawaii! You look like you're having a fabulous time and soaking up some beautiful sunshine. Love the pictures, but the ones of Elysse asleep on the stairs are classic.
