Last Day in Paradise...

Whoops! Thought I forgot about posting about our very last day did ya? Well nope, I just got a little lazy :) But here we go, our very last day in Hawaii. It was another lovely day... well lovely enough. It wasn't super hot or anything, but there was sun and blue sky out! We started by going to the Pali lookout. Great view! Every time I saw this -uhh, the dragon's back? - when we drove by, all I could ever think of was the Jurrasic Park theme song. Hahaha.

And there's the beach we're about to go to.

Of course Flat Alix got her picture taken as well.

And as we were leaving, Jason and Ashlyn went to chase the chickens that were just hanging out in the parking lot.

Then we drove out to Lanikai beach. That's one good looking beach with a real nice family hanging enjoying themselves there. Oh wait, that's us! Doesn't that sand look fantastic? It was.

There was a man who set up his fishing post right in front of us for a while. I'm not sure he ever caught anything. Not that I notcied anyway.

For the first while we just sat on the beach and enjoyed the surroundings and all the beauty of this very relaxing beach.

Even Flat Alix got some sun... with baby doll.

This is the view to the right of us.

And here's the view to the left of us.

J and Ash braved the water. While it was a nice day out, the water was still pretty cool but Ashlyn doesn't care, she just wants to play!

After they came out, Ashlyn got warm, while I decided to test out the water myself.... but only on my feet. Brrrr, it was a little chilly. I was happy to just relax out of the water.

Heather found a nice sturdy stick and started writing different things in the sand and taking pictures of her words before they got washed away by the water.

Just chillin here.

Later on, we decided to play horseshoes. So Jason got it all set up.

Dad and Jason played first. Look at the concentration.

Nice throw!

Then Heather and I played. I guess we could've all played together... but Heather and I weren't really able to throw as far as the boys.

And here's me! I must be a really stiff thrower. All the pictures of me throwing look exactly like this one...

Jason and dad played again while Jax graced us with his presence since he was hungry. What a cute little guy!
On the way home, we decided to stop at Waikiki beach. You can't just go to Hawaii and not even see the beach. By the time we got there, it was pretty chilly out... mostly because of the wind. Flat Alix with this surfer dude... statue.
It's a pretty beach, with lots of people around and crowded with shoppers too across the street.

We went out on to this pier where on one side you can see the view where J and Ash are sitting (above), and here is the view of the other side. You can see the clouds are starting to move in again!

Dad and me. Our final holiday picture together. Boo hoo.

Actually, this is our last picture. In the airport in Portland a couple of days later before we parted to our separate gates. What a great Hawaii trip! I'm ready to go back again!!!!!!
