Besides going to the beaches, our favorite thing to do in Oahu is hike in the beautiful mountains. Most of the time the destination is a waterfall or outlook. Just a short distance from our house you can find many different trails. Amazing that so much nature can be just outside a major U.S. City.

Gwen loves chopsticks. I stuck these in her hair and she

sure did look more asian.

As a fieldtrip we went boxcar racing. As always on this island, I drove around for an hour and a half trying to find something that is only 8 miles from my house. But the kids still had plenty of time to have fun.

Christmas Eve in Hawaii. We went on a whale watching cruise for 3 hours. The kids were sick almost the entire time, but they did have fun.
