Life is a beach with the Choate Ohana

We have been keeping ourselves busy, as usual. Grandma and Papa leave on Saturday so we have been trying to get everything in before they leave:-(!! I have really enjoyed all of their help and I have no idea how I will do back on my own come Monday!! How lucky am I to have such WONDERFUL in-laws that love my kids so much!! I think the thing I am least looking forward to is pushing the double stroller at my stroller strides class!! It has been so nice just taking one kid for the last month!

This morning, Art went to the grocery store and spend $55 on mostly just the ingredients to make chop suey and I think he almost had a heart attack - I think this will make leaving the girls on Saturday a bit easier, haha!! The $7 celery almost did him in!!

On Saturday night, we headed west of Ewa Beach (where we live) and found a beach to watch the sunset. I think Art and Janet would have had more fun without us because all we did was chase Emma and Sophie!! At least we know for next time. Here are a few pics from the sunset (I didn't get many pictures because my battery died after about 10 minutes)...

We also drove to Kailua during the day to have my favorite fish tacos and to see the most beautiful beach, Lanikai.

On Sunday, we had to introduce Tony's parents to Polo in Hawaii - who would have thought?? I think they had fun just doing some people watching. Polo can bring out some interesting folks:-)! It was so windy, that the kids mostly just played in the sand and Sophie just wanted to run off. She was returned to us a few times by our neighboring Polo-goers!!

I'm so pumped about our season passes to Wet n' Wild water park. It is about 15 minutes from my house and we plan on going every Monday for the rest of the summer. They have a great Keiki (kid) section for my young kiddos. Janet and I and the girls went on Monday and we just had a blast! Sophie actually did better on the waterslides than Emma - Sophie is going to be our little fish! I made Emma go down the slide with me even thought she kept saying, "No slide mommy, no slide"! On the other hand, Sophie kept walking either Janet or myself over to the bigger slides so we would take her down. Here are a few videos from our day...

I took Emma with me to pick up passes and I couldn't get her to leave!!

Sophie going in for a kiss, haha!!

Tony's brother, Art, and his wife, Nikki, are on a flight now to Hawaii. Tomorrow we fly with them to Maui while Tony's parents stay and watch the girls. This will be Tony's first day off since Christmas so I'm excited for him to finally relax and get a little vacation! We get back on Saturday and Tony doesn't have to go back to work until Tuesday so we can show them around Oahu! I had to get caught up on blogging because with new company coming I knew I would have lots more pictures to share!

Here are just a few pics from my phone...
