Hawaii-Oahu Day 1

On our first full day in Hawaii, we went to the North Shore. We started at Sharks Cove for snorkeling. We quickly found out that Laneah loved the beach and Brooklyn hated it. I was really surprised. Laneah ran right into the water squealing. I tried to sit brooklyn down in the sand and she wanted nothing to do with it; same with the water.

 She was happy only sitting on a towel eating with mommy very close by.
 Brooklyn looked adorable in her strawberry swimsuit.
After a little while at Sharks Cove we went to Waimea Bay. Laneah played and played and played. She had the ocean, sand and her beach toys and she was happy as a clam. 



 Laneah and Blake had their turns getting buried in the sand.






 After the beach we went into Halewia, which is one of my favorite places on Oahu. We met up with my brother Alex and my parents at Motsimottos for some amazing shave ice. Brooklyn ate most of mine:) When she decided I wasn't feeding her fast enough, she quickly took over and just dipped her hands in and got the ice herself. 

We did a little window shopping and then went to Pizza Bobs, another college favorite of mine. I got the Hawaiian Pizza and it was SO amazing. We all enjoyed our food. On our way back to the house we were renting, we stopped and watched the sunset at Sunset beach. It was spectacular. 








Then we made a pit stop at Ted's Bakery and got a variety of pie slices to try. My favorite was strawberry guava, but I also really liked the coconut cream cake. Yum!
