Day 7-- This was our final day in paradise and I was sad to come back to the cold again! The nice thing about the returning flights out of Oahu is that they are really late so you still have an entire day to play. We took the kids to the Sea Life Park to look at the turtles, sea lions, dolphins, giant aquariums, etc. It was fun! It's similar to Sea World but definitely not as big. It is set in a beautiful seaside location. I just can't get over how beautiful Hawaii is! Anyway here are some fun pictures.
Caleb had fun feeding the turtles lettuce and carrots. It's amazing how big they get!
He thought it was pretty cool to get the painting that the sea lion painted in the sea lion show!
Izzy loves animals so when she sees them she likes to yell at them.
These two just love being together!
Isn't this beautiful!
On our way home I wanted to get a genuine Hawaiian pineapple to munch on before we left. It was so yummy. I could've eaten the entire thing myself!
Once we arrived back at the hotel it was time to pack up our things and get ready to fly home. I wanted one more picture of my lei before I had to throw it away.
Here's one last family picture at our hotel. Notice how we had a great tan compared to our first day at the beach.
It was such a fun trip and I feel like we used every minute of it doing fun things! It felt like we were there longer than a week. I was nervous again about the flight home. Even though it was nice that we had the entire day, I knew that it was going to be hard to get Izzy to sleep on the plane. She actually ended up doing okay. The flight was full again on our way home so we were crammed into 3 seats again. I only slept about 1 hour out of the 6hr. flight. I'm just glad the kids slept the entire way.
I think the funnest part about our trip was being together as a family. Me and the kids love being with Brandon. He works so hard and sacrifices so much for us. This trip was quite a stretch for him. Prior to this trip he had been gone a lot for work.; Spent a total of 3 weeks in Jamaica, St. Thomas, and Cozumel. He was a good sport when I said that I wanted to go somewhere warm he replied saying, "Anywhere but the Caribbean!" What a trooper to get back on a plane again after all of that traveling. I will miss Hawaii but, I absolutely love being home and doing my everyday activities. I don't know when we will return to Hawaii again but, I can say that the trip was memorable for all of us.
Goodbye Paradise!

I love that you took your kids to Hawaii with you. We would love to take Aspen and hope to do so in the next year or so. I will have to get tips from you.
