I started this post a few weeks back, but due to unforseen falling-asleep-while-at-the-computer-ness, the pictures uploaded and then I didn't have a chance until now to continue what I started.
Those 3 weeks ago happened to be my birthday, as well as Hunter's.
He didn't really understand what the big deal was...
"You get presents and we're going to go play today!"
That got his attention!
Here's an action shot of "unwrapping" his build-a-bear. ;-) This time, courtesy of Grandma and Grandpa Leavitt since we couldn't do one ourselves for him. Hawaii is a barren wasteland of bearlessness...
Why, yes, I do have an adorable little boy!
Dump truck!
Wearing the shades from his new bear :-)
Daddy went and got some doughnuts and then we took off to Lexi's soccer game. Afterwards, we packed up the family and headed up to Waimanalo Farms' pumpkin patch. They had plenty to do, but everything also had a price, so we did not do everything. We grabbed a bite to eat, then waited for the hay ride.
Had a wide variety of pumpkins to choose from.
This is a shot to show how close to the shore the farm is.
Birthday Persons!
Trying to get a cute picture of the kids among the pumpkins...
"Don't worry, Mom! I got a good one!"
We also went through the corn maze...though it wasn't much to get all excited about.Definitely didn't match up with the mazes back in AZ. Those were a blast! All of the "wrong" turns were blocked off with caution tape, making it more of a walk through dying corn than a maze.We did meet this scarecrow:
And finally, after much begging and pleading, the kids got to ride the cow train before we headed out.
Down the street, we stopped for a little ice cream:
And started our trip back toward Honolulu for dinner...
...which was enough to lull all the kids to sleep!
Dinner was a great Japanese steakhouse, Tanaka of Tokyo. Hunter loved all the action and fire. Then he was all over the food...
and his food was all over the floor!
They sang to us and gave us some yummy cake, which I had the following day since we had ice cream included in our meal!
"Ice Cream, again! This truly is an awesome birthday!"
We were so dirty and exhausted when we got home, but boy was it a great day with the family!
