Mile 88- Take Two!

We ended our first day back at Mile 88 so the boys could boogie board again.

Savannah wasn't too into the boogie boarding so we spent our time digging in the sand and "dancing" in the little waves. We attempted some sand sculpting and turned her feet into a turtle and later a dolphin.

Here is Parker with his shell collection of the day from our Kiholo Bay trek.

snorkeling with the turtles

After our 1.5 mile beach trek we reached the BLUE LAGOON which is my happy place in Kona. I love that you can see fish, turtles, lava rocks, waves and snorkel in calm water ALL in one location. It was sure a blast to experience this with my family!

1st hike to Blue Lagoon

On our first full day in Kona we decided to take the kids to Kiholo Bay and hike on the beach to the Blue Lagoon. We thought it would be fun for them to see turtles. Our hike was a success as we saw a TON of them. Here are the kids with the first turtle napping on the beach!

Noah is definitely our nature boy so he really got into observing all the waves, shells, coral and animals!

The lava rock was very exciting for each of them. They all enjoyed hiking on it even though it was super HOT!

Isn't it just gorgeous!?! More pictures to come of our kids snorkeling in the Blue Lagoon.

Airport- Costco- Mile 88!

We all got barely any sleep on our night flights to Kona but that didn't keep us from heading to the beach. We landed at noon, changed into our suits, ran to CostCo to buy some BOOGIE BOARDS and then drove to our favorite beach… Mile 88 or Kua Bay. Kep showed the boys how to boogie board and then we had to pull them off of them 3 hours later so we could get checked into our condo! They ALL loved everything about Mile 88! Awesome first day in Kona!

Kona bound!

These 3 cuties have been waiting 2 years for this happy flight! Each of them is pumped to be Kona bound and we can't wait to experience the Big Island from their view. We all feel so blessed to be able to take this family vacation as many memories will be made!
