Alex woke us up between 5:30 and 6:00am every morning in Hawaii. First things first a morning Puffs snack. This is how he takes the lid off with his teeth.
That morning all 14 of us went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. This is Lexi and I before we got tan :)
I'm so glad our hotel room had pack n plays instead of cribs. We wouldn't have survived at the beach without them.

It was really windy that day and the sun kept hiding behind clouds so it wasn't very appealing to jump into the cold water.
I finally decided to go snorkeling and probably waited a little bit too long because their was a lot of people snorkeling which causes the water to get murky. I'm glad I went, but once you've scuba dived snorkeling is lame..
Trevor got buried in the sand.
Alex got a piggy back from Dad
Our view of Hanauma when we left, so busy.
Lexi carried Alex all the way up the hill after we left and he fell asleep. If you've ever been to Hanauma Bay you know that hill is steep especially since they offer rides to the top for $1.
For lunch I had a yummy Ahi Tuna Gyro followed by one of my favorite treats.....Sno Cones!!
They had a picture of Obama in his earlier years in the window with a Sno Cone. Looks like we have one thing in common.
After lunch we stopped at the Halona blowhole and lookout, so pretty.
It was extremely windy as you can tell by my hair in the picture. There is a breach to the right that you can hike down too and swim in the cove, but we never got a chance to do it. Next time!!
Our last stop was Sandy Beach!!
This beach was my favorite one we went to. The sun is in perfect position so you can alway be looking at the water. All the locals hang out here and by what I could smell, get high all day long.
In the distance you can see the cliff which is the lookout point to see the blow hole.
Alex was such a trooper. He hung out in the pack n play everyday at the beach and just played and ate puffs. He loves the beach like his mom:)
I was warned by several people that you shouldn't get in the water here because there are dangerous shore breaks and a lot of people get broken necks here every year. That didn't stop these boys and luckily everyone was ok when we left.
You can tell how windy it is by Al's amazing Pauly D hairdo
Alex was chowing down on his feet after the beach....Love Him
That night we had sushi with Lexi and Chad at Doraku Sushi which came highly recommended by 2 of our friends that live in Honolulu. It also had amazing Yelp reviews so we knew we had to try it.
My favorite was the Yellowtail Sashimi with Jalapeno slices.
On our way back to the hotel Al spotted this sweet bike rack that he decided he would try to ride like a tri bike. One bad thing about traveling with infants is you are trapped in your hotel room once they go to bed, so we were in bed every night by 8:30 or 9...lol Alex was waking up 3-5 times a night to eat and it was awful. It was like he was a newborn all over again.
