A couple more fun things

The waterfall we saw on our hike


Gideon loved this water slide!


Samuel loved trying to make himself have a beard

Joseph and Samuel trying to knock each other over in their inflatable balls

Gideon loves the water beads!

Ooops!  Malachi fell upsidedown






We bought these from a restaurant and one of the workers brought this one out for Malachi with Mickey Mouse on it!  He was excited about it, it had pork in it, and he really enjoyed it.


Gideon photo bombed my picture of Malachi as Joseph's shoulder angel!


My beautiful walking companion!



Austin loved her pineapple smoothie!!
We had a few other fun activities I forgot to mention before me moved into our house.  One of the kids' favorite ones, was going to "sensory day" on Schofield Barraks.  It is for families with special needs children (Joseph with ADHD and Samuel with Autism qualify).  They had so many fun activities for the kids.  One of the favorites was the bubble soccer balls that you go inside and push each other around.  Austin and I caught Joseph off guard one time, and knocked him to the ground.  It was quite fun!  They had a ton of different small swimming pools filled with different sensory items, like water beads, spaghetti noodles, shaving cream, ice, and moon sand.  They had rubber duckies and different things to play in them with.  They also loved the inflatable water slide.  They could have stayed there all day!!  We didn't realized that there was a water slide, so I didn't have changes of clothes for anyone, or swimsuits, but during the last hour I let them all play in it.  Well, one thing I didn't realized was that Malachi had put on 5 pull ups that morning!  So every single one of them filled to bursting with water, and he was so waterlogged that he could barely even walk, he had to waddle to the car, where I had to pull them all off of him, and put them in the trash.  He looked hilarious, we were all laughing like crazy!  One day after church we all tried climbing up Joseph to be his shoulder angel (google studio C shoulder angel).  Malachi was so excited to be the only one who could climb up Joseph without any help. (It was a lot harder then I thought).  We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center again, and it was still difficult to enjoy it with the little ones, but we got to see some different dances, and the theatre with cool special effects.  We also went to a beach near the temple.  There was a huge hole someone had dug and left there (probably 6 feet in diameter and 4-5 feet deep)  the little boys loved playing there, and the waves were huge and the older kids and I had fun playing in the big waves, until Joseph got stung by a blue bubble (portegese man of war).  He said it hurt so bad, and he felt the pain  all over.  We ended up leaving to go back to the hotel.  Travis was out in the field for two weeks right before we moved, but made it back just in time to help us move.
