Allergic to Hawaii

Don't worry, friends, I'm not talking about myself!  I'm allergic to normal things like people crying and expressing my emotions.  Jaden is the one allergic to Hawaii!  Can you even believe it?  He is totally fine in any body of water but as soon as we get close to our apartment, he morphs into a sneezing, sniffling, itchy eye, whiny child.  I guess he isn't used to all the parks full of freshly cut grass and trees that shake their pollen everywhere.  It was so bad on Wednesday that he didn't even want to leave the house.  So we stayed inside.  The.  Whole.  Day.  It was extra annoying because we had the rental car and we were supposed to go hike Koko Head and then hit up Lanikai Beach.  Thankfully he was much better by the next morning.

Yesterday, we headed to "Old Faithful", the beach by the apartment.  This is the beach where boogie boarders rule and surfers are not allowed.  We have probably been here at least 50 times but Jaden absolutely loves it.  We got him fins to wear while he boogie boards so he can catch more waves and there are a ton of kids for him to bond, run, wrestle, and play with.  While he did all of these things, Chris and I relaxed on the beach, tanning ourselves until one of us looks like a tomato and one looks like a Cherokee Indian.  You'll have to decide who is who, but regardless, we were both pretty cranky last night trying to sleep with sunburns.  Here are some pictures of yesterday...

Can you see Jaden in the wave?!

Today was very similar to yesterday, except the boys headed to the beach, while I headed to the mall. We are in a time crunch and we all need outfits for our upcoming nuptials. Thankfully I was able to find outfits for the boys.  They might be the most handsome guys I have ever seen!   Aloha!
