Today was the day we got to go snorkeling at Hanauma Bay. After a quick orientation (“don’t step on the coral”) video, we got right into the crystal clear water to swim with the fishes.

After a few hours, the sun started really beating down on us, so we washed up and headed over to Kona Brewing Co. for a late lunch. Afterwards, Gene took the kids for a sleepover at their house.

In the evening, we went over to the Changs at the Westin to help watch the kids and get some crock-pot dinner. We finished off the evening walking around Waikiki, eating a late-night dessert and discovering a Japanese shopping boutique. [slideshow]

Alas, Gordon and clan could not stay forever (as Elise had hoped). For their final dinner before heading to the East Coast, we went for some tasty Korean BBQ at Shik Do Rak. [slideshow - disclaimer: no food shots, too busy eating].

After dinner, Rebecca took the kids to the park near our house so they could play together one last time, before the Huangs flight out early the next morning. [slideshow]

Here’s some videos that Rebecca took while the “kids” were playing in the snow. [videos]

We came here for the snow and there was plenty of it, even with the weather warming up. The backyard of the cabin had space for snow forts, and with further exploring, the kids found a nice big field for sledding. [slideshow]
