saturday found us in kapolei at hawaiian waters adventure park for brandon's nephew's birthday party. i haven't been there since...well, let's just say it was pre-ahonui and pre-marriage, so that means it was also pre-haagen dazs rocky road binges. although the last time i went i was with my girlfriends, i had so much more fun this time - no offense to my chicas. brandon and i took ahonui around the "kapolei kooler", which is sort of like the lazy river at seven peaks. we spent most of the day playing with ahonui in the "keiki cove" and he just couldn't get enough!
i think i've got a water baby on my hands because i tried to take ahonui out of the pool for a little bit to warm up, eat something, or take a nap...but all he wanted was to stay in the water. he'd fuss and fight until he was back splashing up a storm.
it was such a joy to see the excitement on his face that day. i loved that he seemed like he had no boundaries, that he was entirely unreserved throughout the park. he wasn't afraid to stick his head underwater, or find new friends to splash around with, or even go down the slides with his daddy. i was totally a proud mommy.
of course brandon & i had to get some big slides in as well...so while ahonui went with his grandparents or aunties, we went off on our own to go on the big kahuna, the shaka, surf slider, and the volcano express. soooo much fun!!! hopefully we'll be able to make the trek to the other side of the island more often for days like that.
