We love Oahu!
We had a great spring break in Oahu. To us, Waikiki is a huge city - wonderful restaurants, shops, action packed! We stayed at the beautiful Moana Surfrider. Small pool, small beach area, but great location!
Wet And Wild
Our first day we went to Wet and Wild. I only got one picture (oops!). The water park had many cool rides. Poor Caden was about an inch too short to go on most of the big rides, which caused some tears, but he had fun anyway.
St Patricks Day
We had to check out the St Patricks Day Parade in Waikiki. Nothing to write home about but the kids had fun getting beads and pins.
After the parade we walked to Dave and Busters. The kids had so much fun! You have to remember that we don't even have a Chuck E Cheese on Maui.
Sea Life Park
Definitely a been there, done that experience. The kids enjoyed themselves but the park was pretty run down and small. Gorgeous setting though!
Waikiki Beach
The boys brought their body boards and we did get one day of a pretty big swell. They had a blast but the beach and the ocean were SO crowded!
Polynesian Cultural Center
Our favorite day! We love the PCC. It's so well taken care of, educational, fun activities for the kids, and great shows.
Never shy, all of my boys jumped at the chance to dance at the Tahiti presentation.
Chase tatooed his face in Aotearea
Agility drills
In Samoa, Chase got called on stage to drink the coconut juice - YUCK! He, of course downed the whole thing.
LOST!
We came upon the Lost set while they were filming in the jungle on day. We waited patiently for about an hour but never saw any of the actors! They were very sneaky and shuttled everyone into their trailers via blacked out vans. Still cool to see. What a huge production! Chase and I are die-hard fans.
The Black Pearl
We also went to Barbers Point Harbor to see the arrival of the Black Pearl. This is as close as we could get. Filming for the 4th Pirates of the Caribbean begins in a few months.

Wow that looks amazing! I had to check your blog out after I called.
Well, the one picture you did get at the water park is a great one! Looks like a fun slide! You sure got a lot in while you were there! Glad you had a good time.
(Oh, on my blog a while ago you said that Brett lost one of Geoff's nice coats at the Provo Temple. That's so sad! I asked him about it and he says he has no idea how he lost it). :)
Looks so fun! So nice that Oahu is so close too so it makes for an easy trip!
what a sweet spring break! Sounds so fun, and you did so much! That sea life park is so cute and beautiful. Waikiki beach seems to always be so overly crowded, i bet your local boys showed up those others kids how to boogie board!
I know you LOVE the PCC! Looks like your boys had a blast.
Oh and that waterplace looks so awesome, i love that picture, especially with little crew sitting at the top!
