Here are two random little highlights that I will give their own post. One morning a group of us took the 5 mile hike out and back to see all 4 Ko'Olina lagoons. This was a lovely 2 hour stroll that let us talk, and see some beautiful new scenery and a bit of fun wildlife too!
At the end of the lagoon line up is this long spit made entirely of dried coral pieces! When you walk on it, it's strangely crunchy and quite cool to spy coral in all different shapes and sizes. Ella found one piece that's heart shaped-- actual human heart, like the organ, shaped! :)
Colorful birds like we've never seen and vibrant geckos were spotted as we hiked!
It was a perfectly lovely little walk and I'm so glad to have done at least a bit of hiking on this vacation. Notice which hiking-hating daughter is NOT in any of these pictures! ;)
Another night, we left our big kids back at the hotel to order pizza and play Jackbox games while we all met Dave's cousin Ed for an adults only dinner at the most delicious place we ate all week-- Monkeypod Kitchen. Ed lives and works in Oahu and entertained us with his stories of life on the sea while we ate fresh local fare, served in interesting and delectable ways. I had the pork tacos with spicy kimchi and Asian pear slaw and it was amazing.
After dinner, we all reunited at Sunset Point so the kids could meet their cool second cousin too. Two more little outings that will be favorite memories.
