Happy New Years!

After being in Calgary for 12 hours, we left again for the cabin to celebrate NYE and JJ's birthday.

Bobs and JJ put on a very funny magic show.

We had amazing weather at around 2 degrees outside, and not nearly as much snow as last year.

There were lots of fights between the 6 boys.

JJ opened some gifts.

The kids had Mac N Cheese and then the grownups had a turkey dinner.

Then we waited patiently for the cupcakes.

And the first of the fireworks that night began.

Elliott and Seffy's mom said she would bring the noise makers. We didn't know whether she meant her kids or the instruments.

Then we had some marshmallows and saw the first of the neighbourhood fireworks.

They went on and on and on. Overall, a great time away and welcome back to Alberta.

Christmas Morning Came Late

We are back. We arrived very early this morning and slept in. Then we opened up presents from Mormor and Morfar, and Grandma and Grandpa, and Mommy and Daddy.

Thank you for all the wonderful gifts!! So well thought out by everyone :)

Last Full Day

We woke up this morning to this view, and then headed directly out to the pools to enjoy our last full day.

We walked over to Disney Aulani resort and checked out their amenities. It was a zoo there, but there were some very cool water activities and pools. 

We sat at the beach and had a very relaxing day. 

Mads got a soccer ball tattoo that he wouldn't let me photograph. I had to sneak this one.

Tomorrow you will be able to cease your jealousy of our trip and endless beach photos :) Thanks for following our trip.

Marriott Beach Club in Ko Olina

We took a long taxi ride over to Ko Olina North of Honolulu to a beach resort area. Unfortunately the cab dropped us off at the wrong Marriott before we could say anything. There was a shuttle bus that picked us up and took us to the right resort. It circles around the three resorts. Otherwise it is pretty isolated here.

We spent all day at the pools and a bit at the beach while we waited to get into our room.

The infamous Disney Aulani resort is just above Bobs' head here.  We can check it out tomorrow.

We let the boys loose on the resort while we got our room settled at check in. Can you spot them?
