Hawaii Part II

John and Ann held their wedding celebration during our last two days on the Island. The rehearsal dinner was held at our hotel and the wedding at the Four Seasons. We had the kids come down for a family photo before the rehearsal dinner festivities started. As you can see, we went to great lengths to select their outfits.

The kids loved riding the tram around the huge hotel complex! Here they are ready to head over to the lagoon for a day of water fun.

The seawater lagoon was filled with fish, sea turtles, and other sea creatures... even an eel that scared Grandpa half way across the lagoon. The kids enjoyed various activities, including driving a pedal boat and kayaking. Since they are both water safe, they enjoyed the freedom of rowing all across the lagoon by themselves.

Here's Stiv on the rowing surf board. It wasn't easy to balance with the kids crawling all over!

Even Abster enjoyed swimming around the lagoon. Here she is in her full Ironman swim gear. Abby was a real trooper keeping up with everyone and was a pleasure to have on the trip... for a 2 yr old anyway.

Following several hours at the lagoon, we headed back to our room on the Gondola boat. The kids loved having the option to take the boat or tram as a taxi around the resort.

John and Ann held their sunset wedding on a private beach at the Four Seasons. It was a beautiful wedding and we are thrilled that Ann is finally an "official" member of family!

The sunset made for a spectacular end to the wedding and was a great way to close out one of the best family vacations ever!!!
